Top Topic - The Artists' Version of Ceramic Furniture

Ane Davidsen Ceramic Sofas at Grimmerhus - Museum of International Ceramic Art - Denmark

It is said that trends get started and disseminated to the masses by a select few individuals who have been coined connectors, mavens and salesman.  I view artists and designers as the elusive group at the tippy top of that food chain that give the connectors, mavens and salesman something to talk about.  We keep a close eye on what artists and designers are producing because as a general rule their avant-garde version of something will eventually make it into the products market where we can snag it and make it available to you.

Ceramic outdoor furniture has it's roots in ancient Chinese design and we've seen that design style make a comeback in interior design.  Ceramic furniture design is evolving from the Chinese garden stool origins and there is no better place to start looking for clues than to check in on the artists and designers.  In today's Top Topic I went in search of ceramic furniture art for some examples.
