Drapée Azurite I
Deep blue, mineral and ever-changing with the light, Drapée Azurite is a one-of-a-kind ceramic wall sculpture, entirely shaped and glazed by hand in my studio.
This version of Azurite features a compact, almost square silhouette, sculpted into deep organic folds that give the ceramic the movement and softness of fabric frozen in clay.
Across its sculptural surface, shades of smoky blue, slate blue, cobalt and deep indigo blend together. The glaze shifts between matte, velvety areas, glossy reflections and delicate crystallisations, creating an abstract, almost mineral landscape directly on the ceramic.
Depending on the light and the angle from which it is viewed, some areas become soft and misty, while others reveal much more intense blues and intricate crystalline details. The depth of the folds also casts shadows onto the wall, allowing the piece to subtly evolve throughout the day.
Each Drapée is individually shaped by hand. The movement of the clay, the application of the glazes and their transformation during firing can never be reproduced exactly: every piece is truly unique.
With its palette of deep blues and strong sculptural presence, Azurite naturally finds its place in a contemporary or minimalist interior, or in a space filled with carefully curated objects and artworks.

INSTALLATION
Drapée Azurite is designed as a true wall sculpture. Its three-dimensional folds extend away from the wall in places, naturally casting shadows that enhance its sculptural character.
PLEASE NOTE
The photographs show the exact piece you will receive.
Due to the depth and complexity of the glaze, its colours, reflections and crystalline effects naturally shift depending on the surrounding light and viewing angle.
Azurite has been photographed under different lighting conditions and in close-up to represent these variations as faithfully as possible.
As every Drapée is individually shaped by hand, it bears the subtle irregularities and variations inherent to an original handcrafted artwork. These are an integral part of its character and uniqueness.
