The Strata Plant Vessel is a ceramic planter composed with an array of layered and stacked shapes that naturally conceal the saucer in its form. Its design takes cues from Simone Brewster’s first jewelry collection and broader studio practice. By drawing upon a rich history of sculptural objects found in her heritage, she hopes to create designs that fill one’s space with a sense of self and individual power.

Simone Brewster is a London-based artist and designer who creates large scale, statement, sculptural furniture, objets d'art, and jewelry. She holds a degree in Architecture from the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London, and an MA in Design Products from the Royal College of Art. Across media, her collections explore “intimate architectures,” the relationship that texture and three dimensional form has on memory and emotion, drawing on architectural principles throughout. As part of the African Diaspora, her work marries the European influences of her education with an aesthetic understanding of her Caribbean heritage, bridging the gap between these two histories.
