The Artist Plate Project: a collection of art to collect

The Artist Plate Project is not just a range of tableware: it is a collection of artworks released as limited editions on fine bone china plates. Each piece reproduces the original work of a world-renowned artist, faithfully rendered on an unexpected surface. You will find iconic signatures from contemporary art and urban culture — from KAWS to George Condo, Takashi Murakami, Ed Ruscha and Anna Weyant — artists whose works are fiercely sought after in galleries and at auction alike. For the collector, it is a gateway to the most coveted art, at a far more accessible price than a canvas or a sculpture. For the design lover, it is a chance to display a bold piece at home, made to be exhibited as much as used. This collection speaks to those who see their interior as an extension of their style, just like a rare pair of sneakers or a coveted streetwear piece. Each plate becomes a conversation starter, a marker of taste and an emotional as well as aesthetic investment.

The history and heritage of the Artist Plate Project

Launched in 2020 by the Coalition for the Homeless in partnership with Artware Editions, the Artist Plate Project was born at the height of the pandemic and has since brought together more than 150 world-renowned artists. The Coalition for the Homeless, founded in 1981 in New York, is the oldest American organization advocating for and providing direct aid to people experiencing homelessness. The funds raised through the sale of the plates pay for food, crisis services and housing: the purchase of a single plate can feed more than 100 homeless people. Every plate is therefore a solidary gesture as much as a pleasurable purchase. Since its launch, the project has become an eagerly awaited annual event in the art world, gathering a new constellation of artists with each edition, all willing to offer their talent. This marriage of philanthropy and creation explains the collection's special aura: owning one of these plates means becoming part of a story, supporting a social cause and celebrating the generosity of artists who agreed to lend their signature to a just cause. This charitable heritage gives each piece an added value impossible to replicate in a purely commercial production.

Design, materials and craftsmanship details

Each Artist Plate Project plate is made of fine bone china, a noble material renowned for its delicacy, translucency and strength. The standard format, a 26.5 cm (10.5 inch) plate, offers an ideal surface to reveal every detail of the reproduced artwork. Released in editions of 250 pieces per artist, each plate is a true limited edition. The print quality is designed to faithfully render the colors, contrasts and graphic signature of each artist, from the most delicate line to the most saturated solid areas. The result is a piece that is both elegant and robust, with a finish that deserves to be admired up close. This limited-edition status reinforces the collectible character of each plate. Fine bone china also guarantees longevity: the shades do not fade and the surface keeps its shine. Every detail, from the rim to the glaze, reflects demanding ceramic craftsmanship worthy of the works it showcases.

How to display and showcase your plate

An Artist Plate Project plate is first and foremost experienced as a work to display. The simplest and most striking option remains wall mounting: with a discreet plate hanger, it turns into a painting and naturally finds its place in a living room, an entrance or an office. For a gallery effect, group several plates by different artists into a wall composition, playing on contrasts of styles and colors. Placed on a stand, the plate dresses a shelf, a console or a bookcase and converses with your other collectibles, your art books or your streetwear pieces. Minimalist decorators will isolate it on a neutral wall to let it breathe, while maximalist spirits will integrate it into a busy gallery wall. And for the boldest, nothing stops you from bringing it out on a special occasion: serving on a work of art remains the ultimate style statement. Whatever your approach, the goal is the same: to make this piece a focal point that tells your artistic sensibility.

Care and conservation advice

To preserve all the beauty of your collectible plate, a few simple precautions are enough. Favor hand washing, with lukewarm water, a mild detergent and a non-abrasive cloth, to protect the print and glaze over the long term. Avoid scouring sponges, harsh products and, ideally, the dishwasher and microwave, especially if the piece is intended for collection rather than daily use. If you display it, keep it away from direct, prolonged sunlight to preserve color intensity. For wall mounting, use a plate hanger suited to the weight and diameter of the piece to avoid any stress on the rim. For storage, place a felt or soft cloth between stacked plates to prevent scratches. Finally, keep the packaging and any original certificate or edition element if possible: they contribute to the piece's value and will reassure a future buyer should you ever decide to part with it. With these gestures, your plate will last through the years without losing its shine.
