Tiago’s fresh pairing of porcelain and stoneware dishes draws from mid-century California pottery, anchoring the casual mix-and-match feel of the collection. Visually, the distinction of this line is its daring play of dark colors and light platinum. The core dishes appear in a deep, matte charcoal glaze. Select accessory pieces are available in matte charcoal and slate blue. Concentric pinstripe platinum banding varies in position from piece to piece, creating stepped lines that look as tailored and mod as the shapes of the dishes. Since his arrival on the New York design stage, O’Brien has been widely recognized for his trademark style of “warm modernism,” bringing vanguard mid-century forms and furnishings into a context of classic comfort. In both interiors and products, his firm promotes understated elegance with a pulse on tradition, deploying pairings of old and new, sophisticated and simple, to create a style that feels at once refined and familiar.
