walteria living

walteria living is california based design studio producing works designed by artist, kathleen walsh. the term walteria living comes from walteria, "a small sub-division of los angeles, created in the 1950's to act as a buffer between an affluent hilltop community and the burgeoning sprawl of lower-middle-class communities populating the suburban landscape. walteria living is an analogy for the boundary between high + low culture and the tension created between both." while i'm not sure if i see that expressed in the work per se, the collection is a beautiful series of cast-ceramic pieces like oil candles and simple chandeliers. you can check out the entire collection right here. enjoy!
