Useful and beautiful – just like me
Writing about Jonathan Adler is anything but easy. Actually: putting his essence into words turns out to be quite the challenge. Along his career path the potter and designer from New Jersey moved straight up rather than sideways. Adler is an exceptional talent whose acquired knowledge and innate knack for the extraordinary have made him an instant icon. Blessed with a radical view on life – “If your heirs won’t fight over it, we won’t make it” – he manages to cut the perfect balance between a renegade free spirit and serious product designer. In short: Jonathan Adler stands for insolent designs – ceramics, household goods, furniture, and more – sold all around the globe.
