Elisa Uberti

Elisa Uberti

Elisa Uberti's works are a subtle balance of enveloping volumes and freedom of gesture,
technical constraint and spontaneity. Organic forms, minimalist inspiration, raw poetry, nomadism.

Elisa Uberti was born in 1981. After years spent in fashion and styling, the industry no longer resonated with her. She decided to work with her hands, respecting the passage of time and fulfilling a need for timelessness.
Elisa works with the coil technique, which involves building a shape by stacking coils of clay and then smoothing them. This technique, used for thousands of years, requires only a few manual tools and allows for great freedom of form. Her entirely handmade creations give them a distinctive craftsmanship, sensitivity, and poetry.

Attentive to light, she primarily designs lamps but also creates chairs and sculptures in raw, monochrome stoneware, in unique or numbered pieces. Her work is a constant exploration of enveloping, protective volumes, a delicate balance between the precision of technical constraints and the necessary freedom and spontaneity of the gesture. The clean, minimalist lines of her pieces give them a great deal of elegance. Her work sits at the intersection of Art and Design, tradition and modernity. She loves the raw poetry of the mineral, organic, and wild natural world, discreet minimalism, nomadism, architecture, and primitive habitats.

  • Elisa Uberti was born in 1981. After years spent in fashion and styling, the field finally no longer suited Elisa. She then decided to work with her hands, respecting the passage of time and satisfying a need for timelessness.
    Elisa works with the coil technique, which consists of building a shape by superimposing clay sausages and then smoothing them. A technique used for thousands of years, which requires only a few manual tools and allows great freedom of forms. These entirely handmade works give them a particular style, sensitivity and poetry. Attentive to light, she mainly designs lamps but also chairs and sculptures in often raw stoneware, monochrome, in unique or numbered pieces.
    Her works constitute a constant search for enveloping, protective volumes, a subtle balance between the rigor of technical constraints and the necessary freedom and spontaneity of gesture. The sober and refined lines of her pieces give them a lot of elegance. Her work is on the border of Art and Design, tradition and modernity. She loves the raw poetry of mineral, organic and wild nature, discreet minimalism, nomadism, architecture, primitive habitat.
