Spring Clean
As we Spring clean and give our homes a refresh and reset, we are highlighting the ceramics we love to fill our spaces with from our favorite female BIPOC creators.
At Home: Meredith Baird of Nucifera
At Home is about self-care. We're asking some of our favorite people what's keeping them well.
Meredith Baird is the Founder and CEO of Nucifera. She inspires us to beauty simply.
The 8 Ball: Kelsy Parkhouse of Carleen
Carleen and quilting go hand in hand. We chat with designer Kelsy Parkhouse about life changes during quarantine, her favorite textile artists and of course how American quilting has remained Carleen’s primary inspiration from day one.
The 8 Ball: Ellen Van Dusen
Let’s talk about stripes. Dusen Dusen’s towels and bathrobes are instant mood boosters with color-ways like Tulip Stripe and Dahlia Stripe. Sometimes we all need a little color to keep us motivated. Ellen Van Dusen has us covered.
The 8 Ball: José Luis Bartolomé and Albert Escribano
Evocative of a Mediterranean beach holiday. A patchwork of Summer memories. The individual hand of an artisan. Traditions reimagined. Nostalgia. Meet HEREU.
The 8 Ball: Sarah Nsikak, La Réunion
Sarah’s goal with La Réunion has always been to share Africa-inspired artwork with sustainability at the forefront. The capsule of Patchwork Dresses made by Sarah for Covet + Lou were created at a time when the coronavirus hit especially hard in New York City. Sarah asked herself, “what can I make that will make me feel good in a time where that seems impossible?”
The 8 Ball: Dina Nur Satti
Dina Satti is interested in how art can be a conduit for communal healing and transcendence. Her own art, consisting of ceramic work, is deeply inspired by her upbringing- her cultures and heritage. Dina is originally from Sudan and Somalia, raised in France and Kenya, and now Brooklyn-based. Her ceramic work, from the Zir Vessel to the Baobab Bowl, are based in history and symbols drawing inspiration from plants and the traditional shapes from Africa. Join us in welcoming Nur Ceramics to Covet + Lou.
The 8 Ball: Donna Wilson
Weird and whimsical, Donna Wilson's knitted creatures are grounded in a dedication craftsmanship. Donna talks to us from her East London Studio about nurturing curiosity through craft.
The 8 Ball: Ester Kislin, Creative Director and Founder of Sounds
We can’t help but smile when we look at Sounds. Maybe it’s their Good Mood Tea or their Chime Bath Salts. Sounds came to Ester Kislin in a dream where she saw all of her favorite things spread out on a giant table. She now says that Sounds is “about feelings, the ones in your body, in your mind, in your home, the space inside, outside and all around you.” Get to know Ester. Get to know Sounds.
