I’ve mentioned Jill Rosenwald in various posts before, but I have yet to give her the proper attention her work deserves.
A native New Yorker that slowly moved her way northeast, Jill Rosenwald designs and makes a wide array of glazed lamps and pottery out of her Fort Point District studio. All of her designs “were chosen to cross the bridge between classic and contemporary to complement a variety of room settings.”
She offers her pieces in a variety of color schemes, available on a all of her pieces, and with a handful of corresponding patterns. In the Swan Cool line (above), I really like the mod accents in the Fetching (tall vase in front) and Disco (tall vase in back, and cocktail tray & ramakin) pieces, and love how I can pair them with more floral designs for a corresponding style — without being too matchy-matchy.
Aside from selling her pieces on her site, on her Etsy site, and at local open studio events, Jill’s pieces have been sold at a number of premier retailers, including Barneys New York and Nieman Marcus. Her pieces were featured in “Sex and the City” — one of the more stylish shows in recent history.
Jill also licenses designs for furniture, bedding, wall decor, rugs and decorative accessories through a selection of manufacturers. She really is an inspiration for an independent, handmade designer!
