Collection: People Will Always Need Plates

People Will Always Need Plates is the creation of Hannah Dipper and Robin Farquhar. Launched in 2003, they use high quality, low volume batch production to create witty, thoughtful and stylish products. In keeping with their belief that good design should be used and enjoyed, treasured and shared, they develop products that, while diverse in style and application, always retain the fundamental values of functionality and beauty.

In 2014 their work was showcased in the British Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, curated by architect Sam Jacob.

In 2013, plates from the People Will... archive became part of the permanent ceramics collection at the Victoria & Albert Museum.

Commissioners include the Royal Festival Hall, Hayward Gallery, Design Museum, Hepworth Wakefield, Turner Contemporary, De La Warr Pavilion, London Transport Museum, Scottish Parliament, Welsh Assembly.

We first encountered and stocked People Will Always Need Plates when Owl & Monkey was an online-only experience in the early-2010s.  We are delighted to finally have their work back in stock, this time on real-life high-street shelves.
