KleinReid: Clay Confidential 

Part of the IMoDD Unforgettable Dinnerware Zoom lecture series
Presented by James Klein and David Reid

James Klein and David Reid invite you to join them as they discuss their work, their collections, and their 12 year collaboration with Eva Zeisel.

A pioneer in ceramic design and maker movements, KleinReid studio was founded by James Klein and David Reid in Brooklyn, NY, in 1993.

The influential workshop is renowned for its elegant shapes, translucent porcelain, artisanal glazes, design integrity and impeccable craftsmanship. All work is made “from scratch” — hand produced from proprietary porcelain and glazes.

KleinReid’s pieces have been extensively shown in gallery and museum exhibitions, are carried in design and home stores worldwide, and included in the collections of museums, collectors, celebrities and politicians, including presidents W. Bush and Obama. James and David have also designed collections for prestigious firms including Herman Miller, Dansk, West Elm and Room&Board and have been profiled in national and international shelter, fashion and design periodicals, and on television.

In 1999 the duo approached one of its heroes, design legend Eva Zeisel (then 93) with a proposal to collaborate. Their work together over the last twelve years of Ms. Zeisel’s life spawned a collection of over 20 designs, a treasured friendship, and helped bring her iconic work to a new generation.
