Devin Wilde

Devin Wilde studied architecture at Stanford before founding his Red Hook ceramics studio in 2023. And while the architectural eras that get referenced most often when talking about his wildly popular work include classical (columnar forms, tables that look like vessels for ritual washing) and Art Deco (repetitive geometries), we see a subtle nod to Modernism in his pieces’ delicate visible ribs, X-frames, and structure–turned–ornamentation. In his most recent launch, an 11-piece collection for Design Within Reach, Wilde had occasion to draw upon that era once again, with deeply saturated, high-gloss garnet and cobalt glazes inspired by the palette of the Eameses and Alexander Girard. But part of the appeal of his work, which we’ll see this spring when he collaborates with another former ADHL honoree on a collection of lighting, is that you never know from where his next inspiration will strike.
