Poems-Objects

Each piece in the ‘Poems-Objects’ series has a narrative structure.

By utilising the archives of the Pierre Arcquié porcelain factory in Limoges, we were able to draw on their historical heritage, expertise and tradition.
Our approach was to create porcelain pieces without making new moulds, but by using and transforming reference models.

We recycled and combined their library of porcelain moulds in an anachronistic way, playing with the factory’s expertise, its past and its history. We tried to modernise the traditional aesthetic and breathe new life into this porcelain factory.

These objects are at the crossroads of craftsmanship and design: poem-objects. They combine lyricism and minimalism, abstraction and figuration, emotions and timelessness. I attach great importance to the whiteness of the pieces, as it gives the object coherence.
