Our shared vision is to create what we love and with each new collection elegantly convey goals that have remained consistent since KleinReid’s inception: thoughtful design, fine craftsmanship and lasting beauty.
—James Klein & David Reid
KleinReid is a New York-based porcelain design studio that stands at the forefront of contemporary studio pottery. The firm’s founders, James Klein and David Reid, began collaborating as KleinReid in 1993, hand-building elegant vases, objects, lighting and serving ware, and more recently soft goods, jewelry and limited-edition prints. Their collections have made a significant impact on tabletop and home design, and their New York City studio is renowned for its elegant forms; confident style; dense, translucent porcelain; artisanal glazes; and fine, “from scratch” craftsmanship.
KleinReid’s pieces have been shown extensively in gallery and museum exhibitions, and retail in design stores and stylish boutiques worldwide. KleinReid has designed collections for prestigious firms including Herman Miller, Dansk, and Room&Board, and has been profiled in national and international home, fashion and design periodicals and on television.
