Original designs since 1999
Chive Studio was founded in Toronto in 1999 by Todd Newgren — always original, often copied. Twenty-five years of designing and handmaking ceramic wall flowers, plant pots, and vases without molds, without shortcuts, and apparently without any indication of slowing down. Our ceramic flowers and pots are stocked in the Getty Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, SFMOMA, the Royal Ontario Museum, the Art Gallery of Ontario, the New York Botanical Garden, Denver Botanic Gardens, Longwood Gardens, Monterey Bay Aquarium, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the Andy Warhol Museum, Chihuly Garden and Glass, and more than 200 art galleries, museum shops, and botanical institutions worldwide. We have exhibited at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show for 13 consecutive years, receiving the 5-star booth award — the highest rating given. We have made a return to the Philadelphia Flower Show after a 10-year hiatus, which Philadelphia has been gracious enough not to mention. Ships to 40+ countries.

We had an astronaut on the wall before it was a cultural moment.
The Chive Studio astronaut vase has been on the wall since before the aesthetic had a name. Three versions exist: Yuri, Laika, and Félicette — named after the first dog and first cat ever sent to space. This is the story of a solar eclipse in New York, a Toronto space bar that ordered a hundred vases a month until it closed, and why we are not adding a fourth vase just because NASA had a good week.
Always original, often copied. The story behind the tagline
The tagline came from observation, not marketing. Chive has been making handmade ceramic wall flowers in Toronto since 1999. In the early years, designs we created began appearing on products from other companies. We did not respond with outrage, which would have been exhausting. We responded by making better things. This is the story behind twenty-five years of always original, often copied.
25 years of making handmade ceramic flowers by hand. What handmade actually means.
Handmade is one of those words that has been used so many times it has lost most of its meaning. Chive Studio has been making ceramic flowers in Toronto without molds since 1999. Here is what that actually means, why it produces a different result, and why the people who run museum gift shops noticed before almost anyone else did.
