Designer of the Week

Devin Wilde

Ceramics & product · Brooklyn, New York, USA

A Stanford-trained architect turned ceramicist, on Sight Unseen's 2025 Hot List and newly released with an eleven-piece collection for Design Within Reach.

Devin Wilde studied architecture before founding his Red Hook studio in 2023, and it shows. His hand-thrown vessels and tables carry classical columns, Art Deco geometries and delicate structural ribs where ornament and engineering become the same thing. Deeply saturated garnet and cobalt glazes have made him one of the most collected young ceramicists in American design.

Zoffany and Michael S. Smith take the archive outdoors with 13 performance designs

Michael S. Smith has drawn 13 new stripes, florals and plains from Zoffany's archive, printing them onto performance cloth so that French chintz and Japanese silk references survive a terrace, with print marks and ink bleeds deliberately left in to keep the vintage handle. For a working scheme the point is coordination rather than novelty, since the palette and the scales were built to layer, so an indoor sofa and an outdoor cushion can finally come from the same story instead of two unrelated suppliers.

Dulux goes plural: Rhythm of Blues is three colours, not one

For the first time Dulux named a colour family rather than a single shade for 2026: three indigo blues, airy Mellow Flow, vibrant Free Groove and meditative Slow Swing. The clearest mainstream signal yet that blue is displacing the long run of earthy neutrals in client conversations.
