Interior designer Kathryn Scott finds inspiration in natural forms for a new line of porcelain
Expanding on her successful interior design business, designer Kathryn Scott has turned her thoughtful eye to porcelain design with pieces to beautify one’s tea service among the first created. The designer, who has offices in Brooklyn and Shanghai, is known for her curated East-West style philosophy evident in the interiors she designs and, now, in her porcelain pieces as well.
Among the first forms to come from Kathryn Scott Design Studio are a sugar and creamer inspired by the natural shape of a rock, an influence that resulted in a soft, organic shape. “To hold it you have to embrace it with your hands, which is different than picking up a typical creamer shape with a handle,” Scott says.
The pieces are to be accessories to the designer’s line of dinnerware that is currently in progress and expected to be available early in 2017. Scott also has designed a teacup on a footed saucer that she expects to make available following the development of the basic dinnerware shapes.
“It’s inspired by the traditional porcelain shapes originating from China,” Scott says of the forthcoming piece. “The first place I think of when I drink tea.”
