Rose is the first member of her immediate family to have been born in the United States
where the study of math and the sciences were strongly encouraged. It wasn’t
until Rose dropped out of college when she discovered her enthusiasm for clay.
Several years of adult ed and ceramic wheel classes fueled this passion to lead
her to pursue her BFA in ceramics from Parsons School of Design.
Upon graduation, Rose was offered a design position at Ralph Lauren Home Collection.
While there, Rose affected the launch of a dinnerware pattern that soon became
a Top Ten selling pattern for the U.S. bridal market. In addition, Rose is also
the recipient of two United States Design Patents for her flatware designs.
Rose Gong Monier has received high praise for her creativity and design concepts from
both the design community and manufacturing sector which included West Point
Stevens, Henredon, Waterford Wedgwood, Reed & Barton, and Karastan. In
addition to the design and development of signature lifestyle concepts and
products for the home, Rose led a small team that was directly responsible for
the creation of the Polo Sport men’s fragrance bottle and packaging design.
Her talents and skill have been recognized and utilized in numerous interior design
projects and magazine editorials including Ralph Lauren’s private residence in
Bedford, NY. Rose’s interior design skills were also included in the Women’s

highly competitive juried designer show house.
Rose has taught art and design to both children and young adults. She has successfully guided
college bound high school students in preparing their portfolios for college
admission review and acceptance.
After decades of designing for others, Rose returned to her love of working in clay.
Inspired by the snake shape and its symbolism, Rose gained acceptance into
several gallery exhibitions. However, during the Covid lock down, access to the
pottery studio was not possible. It was during this confinement time that Rose
began drawing serpentine images for future use on her ceramic pieces. These
drawings were exhibited at a fund-raising event where her 2D work was strongly
encouraged. Rose is driven to work both in clay and on paper pursuing her
passion for the serpentine form.
