Waylande Gregory’s whimsical designs have been making Americans smile since the early 20th Century. In 1941, The New York Times described him as “the most brilliant sculptor we have who is working in ceramics.”

Gregory’s bold designs and powerful use of color created timeless pieces that look as current today as they did nearly 70 years ago.  From Art Deco to Abstract Modernism and beyond, his creations reflect the beauty and simplicity of his midwestern upbringing while pushing the technical boundaries of craftsmanship.    As for us?  We love that every piece brings a pop of glamorous color to every room.

Here are close-ups of the new pieces.

Avellina Duvet Cover

A modern take on a classic open-style lattice-work design, Avellina showcases a tone-on-tone damask of criss-crossing lines; the look is clean and crisp.

Asti Coverlet

An up-to-date version of a traditional motif, these blanket covers and shams feature a tonal quatrefoil pattern that is understated and classic, while still offering a new and modern flair.

Barrett Duvet Cover

Slip back into old-world style. The elaborate scroll pattern on this Italian cotton sateen jacquard is reminiscent of high-ceilinged bedrooms in European palazzos.

Como Throw Blanket

Perfect for cooler weather, Como is made from pure Merino wool finely woven into a large scale tonal lattice pattern.  We love that it is reversible.

In addition to these new introductions, new colors have been added to the St. Moritz Blanket, Dorsey Cashmere Throw, Abbey Velvet Pillow, Jolie Throw Pillow, and Giotto Sheets.
