Amiee Byrne

Amiee Byrnes’s ceramic cigarettes elevate a common, disposable object into a lasting work of art that highlights both permanence and intention. Each piece renders the soft translucence of the filter, the faint creases of paper, and the fragile ash with uncanny precision, inviting us, the audience, to pause and reconsider the overlooked beauty in everyday objects. By elevating a symbol of consumption into a meticulously crafted form, Byrne encourages a deeper reflection on the life cycle of objects and the care inherent in thoughtful design.

Her artistic vision extends gracefully into textiles, where her motifs are reproduced on opulent silks. At High Society, we honor the integrity of her imagery by selecting fabrics that echo the motifs of her ceramics, allowing every nuance of her work to be represented in the form of bespoke garments. The result is a collection of bespoke shirts, dresses, and coats that carry the same quiet poetry as her sculptural pieces.

Our partnership with Amiee Byrnes is rooted in a shared commitment to transforming the everyday into the extraordinary. Her practice and our atelier alike embrace the belief that materials (whether clay or cloth) are storytelling mediums and that function and expression exist in dialogue. Together, we celebrate craftsmanship that is both intentional and imaginative, highlighting the narrative woven through each creation without diluting her distinctive voice.

By bridging ceramics and couture, Byrne and High Society explore the fertile intersection of art, design, and daily ritual. Her sculptures remind us that even the most transient items can bear witness to time and care, while her printed textiles offer a living canvas for that same philosophy. In uniting these disciplines, we invite our audience to inhabit a world where every object resonates with purpose, beauty, and lasting impact.
