Heath Ceramics continues as one of California’s last remaining mid-century era potteries, compared to several hundred which once operated in the state. It continues to produce and sell handcrafted dinnerware and tiles at its original Sausalito factory location. In 2003, industrial designer Catherine Bailey and her husband mechanical engineer Robin Petravic bought Heath Ceramics when Edith and Brian Heath could no longer run the company. The new owners continue to revitalize Heath’s original designs with new ideas and by engaging talented artists and designers, while maintaining Heath’s design tradition.

You know when you visit your local vintage shoppe hoping for that rare, once-in-a-lifetime find that you spend a lifetime searching for? Or perhaps when you take your first trip overseas, staring out of the airplane window seat at the vast ocean below you. Or your first boy/girl dance? That’s Pigeon Toe. Founded in Portland, Oregon in 2009, Pigeon Toe Ceramics is the brainchild of fine artist and designer Lisa Jones. With a flair for modern, Scandinavian design and a knack for the craft, Lisa and her team lovingly mold each vessel, basin and bowl with delicate strength. Playful and charming, Pigeon Toe Ceramics redefine the rustic chic aesthetic with casual irreverence. Lisa’s products transcend trends, leaving behind an heirloom that’s hardly old-fashioned. Polished and refined, yet naturally imperfect, Pigeon Toe Ceramics is inspired by a new age of homegrown, depression-era aesthetics. Clean and tactile, white and pure.

Dwell on Design – April 5 - 7, 2018 – Los Angeles A festival of design featuring hundreds of brands, unmatched onstage conversations led by Dwell editors and unlimited industry influencers, full-scale prefab homes, Dwell Outdoor, Ride 'n Drive, Modern Family Pavilion, Consultations, and more.

Since 2005, Joel Turkel and Turkel Design have been Dwell's lead architectural partners in creating prefabricated homes that embody Dwell's vision of modern design. To celebrate the partnership's tenth year, we are pleased to announce a new exclusive collaboration: Dwell Prefab. This group of homes, the Axiom Series, offers a panelized system celebrating bold design, resource conservation, energy efficiency, and a predictable building process. Axiom Series homes start at $250 per square foot and never compromise on design, quality or construction. Bold Design A home should be beautiful to look at and a joy to live in. Each Axiom home reflects intuitively-designed living space and uncompromising attention to detail. Resource Conservation A home should use minimal material and energy to create. Pre-fabrication vastly reduces energy consumption and construction time, and all but eliminates waste. Energy Efficiency A home should consume very little energy. Axiom homes are designed to be exceptionally well insulated and airtight. Their reduced surface area and volume ensures lower lifecycle costs. Predictability A home should be designed and built against predictable benchmarks. Within fixed fee, and systemized design and delivery methods, Axiom homes can be modified, delivered and erected on your site with a high degree of predictability in cost, scheduling, and quality. Next Generation Living A home is a trust in which you place your future. Axiom homes are designed and fabricated to the highest standards of tomorrow.
