KleinReid was founded in Brooklyn New York, in 1993 by James Klein and David Reid. A pioneer in ceramic design and the maker movement, the studio marries timeless art-pottery methods and time-honored industrial techniques.
The influential workshop is renowned for its elegant shapes, translucent porcelain, artisanal glazes, design integrity and impeccable craftsmanship. As it always has been, all work is made “from scratch” — hand produced and hand glazed in-house.
For more than 25 years James and David have made a living designed and hand-crafting vessels, lighting, prints and objet, supported by those who wish to use and live with their work. They’re honored and humbled by that. They share a personal vision to create what they love and each new collection elegantly conveys goals that have remained consistent since KleinReid’s inception: thoughtful design, fine craftsmanship and lasting beauty.
