Why Functional Art Matters: Bringing Both Beauty and Utility into Your Life

At PAR  KER made, we believe that art should do more than just sit on a shelf—it should play an active role in your everyday life. That’s why we focus on creating functional art, blending beauty and utility in a way that makes art a part of your daily routine. From woven throw blankets to handcrafted ceramics, our pieces are designed to be enjoyed and used, not just admired from afar.

1. What Is Functional Art?

Functional art combines aesthetic beauty with everyday utility. It’s a way to integrate art into your life, making it more accessible and personal. Instead of hanging a painting on the wall and leaving it untouched, functional art allows you to engage with your favorite pieces. Whether it's a blanket that keeps you warm or a tote bag that carries your essentials, functional art is designed to serve a purpose.

2. Adding Beauty to Everyday Items

At PAR  KER made, we believe that everyday items should be beautiful and meaningful. That’s why we incorporate original artwork into functional pieces, turning something as simple as a blanket or tote bag into a piece of art. Every time you wrap yourself in one of our blankets or carry one of our bags, you’re engaging with a piece of art that was thoughtfully designed to bring joy into your life.

3. Why Choose Functional Art?

Functional art enhances your life in ways traditional art can’t. It’s something you can interact with, touch, and use daily. By choosing functional art, you’re integrating creativity into your routine, making art a part of your lifestyle rather than just a decoration. Plus, with our focus on sustainability and ethical production, every piece of functional art you buy from PAR  KER made is created with care for both you and the environment.

4. The Personal Touch

When you purchase functional art, you’re not just buying an object—you’re investing in a story. Each piece at PAR  KER made is handcrafted by Parker Heath, whose journey as a BMX rider, actor, designer, and artist influences every design. This personal touch makes each item unique, ensuring that your home is filled with objects that tell a story and reflect your personal style.

5. Transform Your Home with Functional Art

Whether it’s a cozy throw blanket draped over your sofa or a set of handmade ceramics for your kitchen, functional art has the power to transform your space. It adds warmth, personality, and a sense of artistry to the most practical items in your home.
