1882 Ltd. presents imaginarium
Imaginarium – this year’s collection from 1882 Ltd. will be showcasing daringly imaginative, hand crafted one-off or limited-edition pieces by leading British creative visionaries, including Bafta and Oscar award winning art director & set designer Shona Heath, music artist Robbie Williams, furniture designer Max Lamb, ceramicists Amy Jayne Hughes and Leah Jensen, fashion designer Giles Deacon and Scottish artist Bruce McLean. In each piece there is a curiosity and playfulness of form, pattern, colour and texture that engages and enthrals.
1882 Ltd. champions inventively designed ceramic products from lighting to domestic ware to works of art whilst employing the manufacturing heritage of Stoke-on-Trent and promoting the British ceramic industry.
Our ceramics are to be used, loved and desired and to bring enjoyment be it in dining and decorative objects to lighting and art pieces. Each collection has a different spirit but they always stay true to our core beliefs.
There is incredible human skill in everything we do and we focus on the process as well as the design. There are no less than 10 processes to make a mug, all of which require great human skill. While we are keen to show the processes behind how something is made we value the importance of good design and superlative quality that will last the test of time. We are prepared to test the bounds of the material. We make what we love.
