Devin Wilde's latest collection, Series No. II, shifts from functional tabletop vessels to ceremonial bases, elevating ceramic furniture into integral parts of daily life. Inspired by Greek and Roman classicism, Wilde emphasizes the importance of these pieces in supporting daily rituals. With whimsical forms and four primary silhouettes, the collection includes various tables that not only serve practical functions but also seek to enrich the domestic environment. Wilde's architectural background influences his design process, aiming for pieces that foster human interaction and connection in everyday settings.
The aesthetic of Greek and Roman classicism, specifically as it relates to the ceremonious, is central to my aesthetic and evermore present in this collection.
I wanted to design artifacts that could be part of daily rituals, an integral component of the home.
I think my background in architecture - having learned to design with a level of empathy, keeping human interaction front of mind - was very helpful in developing pieces that are more integrated into daily life than a vessel alone might be.
The grouping proclaims its presence most loudly through whimsical forms that celebrate its own identity as much as it serves the activity atop it.
