About Design By Pouneh

Nestled in the heart of Palm Desert, California, Design by Pouneh is not just a ceramic studio; it's a sanctuary where creativity flourishes and artistry comes to life. Our studio serves as a space where nature-inspired ceramics and jewelry are crafted with precision and passion.

It's a place where the beauty of craftsmanship is celebrated and where each piece reflects the dedication and artistry that define our work. From the serene atmosphere of our studio to the personal touch infused in every creation, Design by Pouneh is a true reflection of the artistry that drives us. Pouneh Shahrestani is an architect and interior designer by education but has discovered a deep passion for creating handcrafted earrings and ceramics. She designs and creates contemporary ceramic bowls, plates, accessories, jewelry, and a variety of decorative objects tailored to enhance any space. Pouneh works with both wheel-thrown forms and slabs, and much of her work is influenced by her Middle Eastern heritage, which is reflected in the unique style of her pieces.
