Planter No. I

About the Artist | Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, artist and ceramicist Devin Wilde was originally trained in architecture at Stanford University before returning to his lifelong passion of sculpture. Wilde spent several years at artist residencies in ceramics and wood at Anderson Ranch Arts Center, Penland School of Craft, and others before returning home to NYC to launch his ceramics practice. In 2023, Wilde founded his eponymous design studio. In 2024 and 2025, Wilde has been selected to the WALLPAPER* USA 400, a list of creatives shaping the American design landscape. For NYCxDesign 2025, Wilde released his first collection of ceramic furniture, Series No. II, a range of side and cocktail tables. Works from Series No. I and II are often featured in the projects of AD100 and ELLE DECOR A-LIST interior designers. Most recently, in January 2026, Wilde released an exclusive collection of ceramic tables and vessels with Design Within Reach. Referencing his background in architecture, Devin draws inspiration from an electric array of styles; namely Art Deco, Classicism and its myriad of revival periods, and Post Modernism. As he explains, “I explore forms that simultaneously convey both ancient and distinctly modern sensibilities. The relationship between shape and shadow is key to my work. The geometric languages I develop are a careful marriage of form and function; they give structure to the forms, yes, but are primarily mechanisms for creating drama with light.”
