What is made slowly, lasts.
This phrase guides my work. Taking time to create, choosing suitable materials, accepting irregularities and making objects that naturally find their place in everyday life.
The origin
An engineer by training, I work daily in a world of bits and bytes, cloud architectures and digital transformations (LinkedIn). This profession taught me rigour, precision and a taste for coherent systems.
But at some point, I felt the need for a different rhythm from the keyboard. A more grounded gesture. A direct relationship with material. A medium that doesn't lie.
This is how I encountered stoneware.
The gesture
Today, I shape each piece by hand in my workshop. Wheel-throwing imposes a calm, patient tempo. Here, nothing is instant. Each form requires time, attention, control, but also acceptance of the material's surprises.
Working with clay becomes a balance between precision of gesture and letting go. Where digital seeks reproducible perfection, ceramics accepts variation, the unexpected and singularity.
As an apprentice to Didier Descamps, I developed an approach centred on simplicity of form and attention to use. Wheel-throwing became my language. Each piece is born from a repeated, almost meditative gesture.
The material
I work mainly with stoneware from Saint-Amand-en-Puisaye, a dense, robust and living clay. It reacts, expresses itself, sometimes resists — and it's in this dialogue that I find my place.
Each piece evolves through the stages: throwing, trimming, drying, glazing then high-temperature firing. This long process gradually transforms raw clay into a durable object, designed to accompany everyday life.
My creations favour clean lines, balanced volumes and restrained glazing that lets the material express itself without artifice.
The objects
I mainly create everyday objects: bowls, cups, vases, pitchers, plates or decorative pieces. Simple forms, designed to be used every day.
Stoneware is a resistant material, suitable for daily use while maintaining a natural, authentic presence. I place particular importance on the balance between functionality and aesthetics, so that each object naturally finds its place.
In a fast-paced world, I choose to make slowly. You won't find perfectly identical shapes or standardised series. Slight irregularities are part of life and give each piece its unique character.
I seek to create simple, lasting objects that accompany daily life without seeking attention: useful, quiet pieces, yet present. Objects designed to last, to be used, handled and naturally integrated into everyday life.
