Rapha 🚴‍♂️
February 2, 2022
I recently bought a pair of jeans from the bike-lifestyle company Rapha. I find Rapha's stores, emails, and mission to be inspiring to Bridge, and I'll explain why.

First, you may ask, "What is Rapha?"  Rapha is a product company that sells goods for biking, including shirts, shorts, helmets, and accessories. What is unique is the lengths it goes to foster a community (and sales!) by having a coffee shop in it, organizing riding events,  offering members-only clothing...

Mother Nature is the best inspiration of all, and the Floral Sketch collection consists of delicate drawings of Jasmine, Camellia, Wisteria, and Cherry Blossoms. This marriage between Juliska's subtle thread and berries motif and the artistic depictions of flowers makes for mix n’ match fun.

New Vietri Pesci Colorati Collection At Glassworks!

A traditional school of fish was the original inspiration for Vietri's Pesci Colorati collection. The Figural Fish Platter, pictured along with the "tail" of a serving bowl and salad plates, brings Pesci Colorati to life with layers of handpainted color. The maestro artisans also handcrafted the fish figure, using dishwasher safe Terra Bianca. Stop in at the Shadyside store to see our selection of pieces from this collection.

Visiting Laura May at The Ivy House in Dallas
June 23, 2021
Enjoyed visiting Laura May at her lovely boutique The Ivy House in Dallas.  She is a spitfire filled with inspiration and enthusiasm.

She offers a shop chockablock with luxury goods from Ginori, Juliksa, Deshoulieres, Saint Louis Crystal, and hundred of other premium brands. 

It’s so pretty in the shop that I suggested she could rent it out in the evenings for wedding engagements, cocktail parties, etc. 

Thank you, Laura, for encouraging me and the Bridge team! 😀

'Pattern Recognition'
December 5, 2020
Taking inspiration from the Meissen collaboration with Adidas, I decided to try our hand at a Meissen inspired Bridge logo.

Bridge was founded in the tableware and fine china industry, and one could say that china made Bridge. In this logo design, we take our origin story literally :) View Post

What Was Old is New- Indigo Wave
November 30, 2020
Holidays and family meals are better with gravy, say we.  It can be a cocunut milk and curry sauce, or something to go with the poultry or beef to name a few types.  Our grandmother used to kid us and say "Please pass the grease."  This is not your grandmothers's dinnerware, however, because Indigo Wave was created by Mottahedeh in 2003 by using an antique rim soup bowl collected by Mrs. Mottahedeh as inspiration and then the various elements of the plates were adapted ...

Pizza- no sauce! Who thinks they would like to grow up to become a food stylist?  Our own, Paul, @Pauliedishes has already achieved his dream, but we don't think this started when he was a child.  If you can't resist sculpting the butter at the dinner table or finding new directions for the mashed potatoes, making a delicate rose out of a radish, you are probably safe in that regard.  We think the key to the most beautiful result  is to put your creation on a beautiful plate....

Italian Creamware is Always in Style
August 27, 2020
At Mottahedeh we generally opt for lots of bold color with a style that is not shy.  On the opposite end of the spectrum, white creamware made of faience, or soft paste porcelain, is our other love. Creamware has been in the offering for more than forty years.  Many times, the original has been French, and yet we make ours in Italy as the craftsmanship is exceptional and historic. Faience can be made into shapely forms with lots of detail. 
Here is our Lewis Tureen. This oval ...

Charting the Industry
August 16, 2020
These days everyone wants to be a  ‘digital company,’ but truth be told the heart of a digital company often lies in analog, traditional mediums like: paper sketches, face-to-face conversations, and inspiration from window shopping.  

As an example of this, shown here is my stretch of the home goods industry that I’m converting to a digital graphic. While we’ll eventually view the finished chart via pixels, this idea was originally born of good ol’ ...
