There is the way we live today and the way we live in our homes that's pivotal to every brand on the market today. Sometimes something wonderful happens when a new brand arises from the hearts and minds of talented, experienced and passionate craftspeople. That brand Is Farmhouse Pottery. The first thing you sense at Farmhouse Pottery is a refreshing new inspiration in the aesthetic of pottery.
This isn't your grandparents worn down farm house in the woods either. No, by all means this ceramic ware would be just at home in an industrial Manhattan loft as it would a seaside Nantucket style home on Martha's Vineyard. This inspiration is really the direct result from its creators James and Zoe Zillian. They live in a renovated farmhouse in Woodstock, Vermont that reflects their clean style which blends rustic chic with contemporary style that fits anywhere in the country.
James is a master potter with a unique combination of not just a potters technical design and craft aesthetic but has an open eyed passion for how we live today. You feel his hand in each piece and see how seamlessly it fits into today's lifestyle. These are truly products to live with everyday. Zoe has a natural beauty that could launch products in a thousand markets. Her smart style, marketing passion and engaging personality is so refreshing because it's not hyped or forced. It's effortless. Just watching her in their shop in Woodstock, Vermont you soon realize she's a cult leader in authentic goodness, kindness and thoughtfulness. Then you realize further that they are on to something very attractive and you want in! James and Zoe aren't only the creators of a brand, they are the brand. You desire to live like them because they have something very special, passion, confidence, and authenticity.
Lucky for us that a new and carefully curated brand like this - and the array of artisan quality products they produce- come along to offer us a new breath of gorgeous things that make us live better and our homes an ever better place to be.
