Their bold brushwork and intersecting lines recall the rhythm of Italian landscapes reimagined through a modernist lens — a striking fusion of art and architecture.

A bold expression of postmodern artistry, this pair of Swid Powell “Toscana” dinner plates was designed by architects Steven Harris and Lucien Rees-Roberts in the 1980s. Known for their refined interiors and architectural precision, the duo brought their modernist sensibility to the table in collaboration with Swid Powell — a design house celebrated for bridging the worlds of architecture, art, and domestic form.

The “Toscana” design features painterly brushstrokes of deep cobalt blue, olive green, and golden yellow, intersected by crisp graphic lines in black and white. Each plate reads like an abstract landscape, alive with movement and layered with intention — a perfect example of Swid Powell’s ethos of expressive modern design.
