Eva Zeisel, Design Revolutionary, Profiled in New York Magazine

Eva Zeisel, author of Overlook's classic Eva Zeisel on Design, is profiled in this week's New York magazine feature story on Design Revolutionaries. One of the great designers of pottery and ceramics in the twentieth century and now only one hundred years young, Eva Zeisel is one of Overlook's most beloved revolutionaries. With a trailblazing career that spans more than seventy-five years and continues to this day, with recent creations that include a Martini glass featured in Bombay Sapphire ads and vases for Klein-Reid, Eva Zeisel stands at the forefront of twentieth-century designers. Her works are a reflection of a profoundly independent vision, unconstrained by design conventions, fads, or ideologies, and are featured in the permanent collections of museums throughout the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art.
