Potter, designer, and author, Jonathan Adler launched his namesake brand after leaving his day job to pursue his first love, pottery.

In 1993, Barneys New York bought his collection of pots, and five years later, he opened his first store in Soho. Today, the brand, synonymous with modern American glamour, is a design company with retail locations worldwide, striving to create luxe and lovable interiors that are seriously designed, but don’t take themselves too seriously.
