Eva Ziesel, groundbreaking designer died on December 30th, 2011 at the age of 105. Not many can claim to have worked 9 decades in any field. She designed and produced stylish but simple lines of tableware that were credited with bringing a sense of serenity and modern design to middle-American homes during the 50′s and 60′s. Eva is widely recognized as a master of modern design, her dish sets and salt and pepper shakers on display at the New York City Museum of Modern Art. Although many of her pieces seem to be form driven they are all lead by function.

There’s far too much to mention here about her life and accomplishments. Learn more about Eva and her life’s work from the Washington Post.
