studio, she designs and creates pieces on the border between work of art and
designer or useful object. The designer draws inspiration from working with the
material. Her creations are all hand-crafted in France. Donut cups are designed
like a cake, the enamel turning to frosting and the oversized handle a biscuit.
Hand-moulded, they are all unique and imperfect: shapes and thicknesses may
vary. Like any unique, hand-crafted piece, it involves multiple challenges. The
intensity and depth of the colours required extensive research as well as
several passages through the oven. It is this singularity and this immoderation
that characterise the creations of Pia Chevalier. For the “Noël au Vert”
collection, Pia chose exclusive gourmet colours: lime, intense fir tree green
and comforting terracotta. An independent designer, trained in Design and Crafts
at the Boulle School, Pia Chevalier now has her own workshop at l'Orfèvrerie.
She leaves plenty of room for total spontaneity in her creative process and the
composition of her pieces. Her love for raw materials encourages her to
constantly transform them in order to create unique pieces. Focused on the
everyday object, she gives it the status of a sculpture capable of arousing
emotion and creating a passionate bond. Pia Chevalier approaches ceramics in a
very intuitive way, through modelling and crimping techniques. The designer
finds in this material great freedom of expression which gives rise to
disproportionate, funny sculptures often inspired by the culinary world.“
