Franco-Finnish ceramicist and designer Nathalie Lautenbacher (b. 1974) has been creating tableware collections renowned for their delicate color, subtle form, and strong personal touch since 1999. Each year brings new additions to the ceramics family, with each unique object diligently handcrafted by pouring colored porcelain into a plaster mold. In recent years, Lautenbacher has created more artworks in addition to functional items. She creates wall art and installations also in collaboration with designer Naoto Niidome. Ceramics is combined with other carefully selected materials, such as textile, aluminum, wood, or plaster.

”There’s something very addictive about working with clay. The slowness of it makes time stop, but you still feel as if you’re keeping up with life. It’s a material that gives you a firm hold of the world.

Tableware is much more than just platters or containers for food. I think it adds comfort to everyday life. An archetypal bowl or cup tells a story about something bigger—about sharing or storing. That’s why making one remains interesting year after year.”
