Its crisp navy and white geometry captures the spirit of refined modernism — tailored, graphic, and quietly luxurious.

Designed by acclaimed New York architects Calvin Tsao and Zack McKown, this Swid Powell “Seersucker” 12-inch porcelain plate embodies the duo’s ability to merge architecture and art through disciplined form and subtle texture. The alternating navy and white stripes evoke the tactile rhythm of seersucker fabric — a clever nod to American design tradition, translated with architectural restraint.

Produced in Japan for Swid Powell in the 1990's, this series reflects the brand’s legacy of collaborations with postmodern luminaries including Richard Meier, Michael Graves, and Robert Venturi. Like all Swid Powell designs, “Seersucker” combines clean geometry with timeless elegance, making it as relevant today as when it first debuted.

Now rare and long out of production, this plate is a sought-after example of Swid Powell’s museum-quality tableware — perfect as a collector’s piece, a display accent, or part of a curated architectural design collection.
