Jonathan Adler Obsession

I don't remember when I learned about Jonathan Adler exactly, but I'm sure it was sometime during college. He is known for his flamboyant style and crazy colors in home designs, as well as in the products that he designs and sells from his online shop and stores. I actually have a case for my iPhone designed by him, and of course my fabulous Daschund. He is currently sitting in style on a shelf by my fireplace.


Sometimes Adler rooms are a little too out there for me.

Giant hot pink poodles and barbie dolls nailed to the wall are a little on the weird side, even though this is actually for a Barbie museum.

Other times, I really like his style (photo from House Beautiful) and use of patterns and colors.


Lately though, I feel like I've been hit with a full blown obsession with his pottery. I don't care for the psychedelic colored stuff, or the wacky naked butt vases, but I love the simple white ceramic stuff he does. There are a ton of things in the Menagerie category that I love, which are basically stylized animal figures (like Weenie the Daschund). 

 How cute is this giraffe? Seriously. It would look cool on a console table in an entryway, or in a nursery (on a high shelf!)

 This whale canister would be really cute for jewelry storage on a dresser.

 So would the squirrel

 Not only is this just cute, but it's also an bank. Not a piggy, so I guess it would be an ellie?


There are so many other fun ones, but these are the ones on the more affordable end of the scale. 

Something else I would love to buy is an assortment of these vases. They would work perfectly on the built in shelves in my living room. Now, all I need to do is find a money tree and I would be all set!
