Margaux Carel
Margaux Carel is a Paris-born, Lisbon-based artist who works in the medium of clay.
With a background that spans photography, fashion, and interior design, Margaux derives inspiration from the natural world’s raw, fleeting states of beauty. Her organic sensibility is informed by a childhood spent observing the majestic drama of the Alps—and the profound peace and perspective she found there. Margaux’s artistic process is a meditation, and this is reflected in her sculptures, which are at once strong and grounded, yet ephemeral and impossibly delicate.
Clotilde de Kersauson
A former textile designer, Clotilde has launched her first collection of ceramics in Lisbon.
She studied ceramics at Arco and then opened Studio Mirante with her dear friend Margaux Carel. In her first collection, Clotilde focuses on one object, a simple candlestick. Thrown on a potter’s wheel identical they are then pinched and worked to give them a unique, nearly human character.
Similar to one’s skin, the clay, unglazed, shows marks of the process and will continue to mark, revealing its history.
Claire Duport
Coming from a fashion editorial background, Claire Duport has expanded her work as an illustrator by collaborating with fashion brands and various publications. After working with ink and paper, Claire Duport now translates her research into textile, embroidery and stained glass through various techniques, implementing her emblems in abstract and eye-catching shapes.
