Decal Art D Milestone
ecal Art is an Ossining, New York based studio specialising in original and custom ceramic and porcelain design. Husband and wife team Philippe d’Arlhac and Erika Boetsch met each other in Philippe’s Paris flat at days before the dawn of the year 2000. “I was studying German and spoke barely a word of French,” says Erika, a New York native. “Philippe knew a little English, but not so much. We laugh now when we think about how we managed to find each other and fall in love with barely being able to understand a word between us.” Maybe it was the excitement of Y2K?“ We have two young boys now, but we still try our best to party like it’s 1999,” says Erika. Since launching their studio in 2008, Milestone Decal Art has created the “fishy fish” dinnerware line as well as a number of other original home decor and giftware products. “Our greatest creative inspiration is nature,” says Philippe. “Our original designs are almost all inspired by the artwork of the Earth.” He adds, “We also do a lot of custom printing and product creation work for other artists and designers. We follow our own dreams but also welcome those of others.”
