Childhood summers spent along the coast of Brittany inspired a tribute to the marine world. Drawn to the fluid forms and gentle sway of sea anemones, the work moves instinctively between painting and sculpture, each discipline enriching the other in a poetic, tactile dialogue.

It all began with painting and searching for the ideal brush size that would allow the hand to move freely in a harmonious, fluid gesture. Repeated over and over, this motion formed intricate patterns radiating outward from the center of the paper, with each overlapping stroke building layers of rich nuance and transparency.
Maintaining a tactile connection to the making process was essential. These expressive compositions eventually caught the attention of Parisian publisher Édition La Chance, who proposed to translate them into rugs.
Handmade by artisans in Portugal, each rug(available in blue, green, or red) is crafted using four tonal variations, creating depth, rhythm, and a sense of movement within the woven surface.

Inspired by the form and movement of tentacles, the sculpting process naturally evolved into the creation of a bowl designed to enclose and reveal its contents. Flexible plastic profiles, cut to a specific length, are bent and welded into long ribbons of repeating branches. These are then wrapped around a central stone core, forming a circular, ruffled structure.
The branches gently flex outward to accommodate objects, before returning to their original shape in a slow, organic motion, bringing a sense of life and fluidity to this tactile, functional sculpture.
