Designed by visionary architect Steven Holl for Swid Powell in the mid-1980s, the Linear pattern translates architectural precision into a quiet, poetic composition. This 12-inch porcelain plate features delicate blue linear detailing that sweeps, crosses, and spirals across a pristine white surface, evoking both movement and structure.

Holl’s Linear design feels like a drawing suspended in time — a study in balance and rhythm that mirrors the conceptual clarity found in his architecture. Produced during Swid Powell’s most influential period, this piece reflects the company’s mission to bring modern architectural thought into everyday objects.

Highly collectible and rarely seen on the market, Linear is among the most distinctive designs from Swid Powell’s architect series. This example is in excellent condition, free of chips, cracks, or surface wear, and displays beautifully whether hung, mounted, or displayed in a design collection.

Collected with intention and offered with discernment, Evergreen Foundry celebrates objects of presence, craftsmanship, and enduring beauty. See less
