Daniel Shapiro is the founder of Winkle Ceramic Design, which is a new brand and it has just unveiled its first range: the Squared collection. The brand is inspired by the legacy of his great-great-grandfather. He had started a slipcast ceramics business in his St. Louis hometown. The inaugural capsule is comprised of mirrors, furniture, and lighting.

Winkle Ceramic Design is a new journey for Shapiro, which stems from his previous work on organic and sculptural shapes. He notes, “I have two distinct parts of my personality. One side is messy and chaotic, my personal work showcases this. But there’s another side of me that loves order, even spacing, parallel lines, and grids. Winkle gives that structured side of my mind a place to live.”
