Solstice, by Laurence Mallaret

Laurence Mallaret is a ceramic artist based in Marseille. Initially a painter of décors and frescoes, she now applies her colorist's eye to ceramics, developing a world where material becomes relief, light, and wall composition. Her creations—mirrors, wall vases, candleholders, and ceramic panels—are distinguished by a free, colorful, and deeply Mediterranean style. Each piece, handcrafted in her studio, combines plays of texture and contrasts of color in a constant search for balance between spontaneity and precision. Inspired by architecture, decorative painting, and the Southern light, Laurence Mallaret designs works at the intersection of art and decorative object. Her joyful and sensitive ceramics infuse interiors with a luminous presence, where the poetry of gesture converses with the material.
