Joseph Algieri
Adding a hint of humor to the quotidian, Joseph Algieri creates contemporary home decor with a childlike spirit and a tongue-in-cheek attitude. The Brooklyn-based ceramicist and lighting designer prefers to let his work emerge from experiments, and the results of his laissez-faire approach are idiosyncratic pieces that feel both familiar and elusive. Vases and mugs are accessorized with objects and motifs from daily life, while fragmented mirrors framed with ceramic flowers are charged with a liberating, nonchalant energy. Playful yet sophisticated, Joseph Algieri’s line of handcrafted homeware in eye-popping colors brings a little magic to the modern interior.
