SESSÙN / 2025 - 2026

Since January 2025, I have been collaborating with the brand Sessùn, developing collections of handcrafted objects for its various stores. Centered around the art of the table, these collections are composed of unique, handmade ceramic pieces. My work is currently available at Sessùn Alma stores in Marseille, Barcelona, Madrid, and Paris.

Project name /  La cueillette 2025

For this collection, I wanted to return to the origins of nourishment through foraging. Foraging is one of humanity’s earliest gestures: gathering food directly from the land. Gathering through the earth itself. This is why each object in this collection is shaped by the material from which it is made. The collection was designed and presented during Paris Design Week September 2025 at espace commines Paris3, alongside Thomas Roger and Raphaël Golja.

Project name: Plates / 2024 - 2026

For several years, I have been designing and creating plates for chefs as well as private clients. I enjoy creating vessels that respond to the dishes they hold, the changing seasons, and the
clays I gather.



I had the opportunity to collaborate with chefs Noémie Dhooge and Marin Remy. Together, we co-created a collection of tableware that is deeply connected to their cuisine and the surrounding landscape. Through an ongoing dialogue and many iterations, the clay gradually took the shape of a series of objects with raw, spontaneous curves. Developed over the course of a year, this project has now come to life at Ondine in Strasbourg.



Project name: C+T01 et 02 / 2025 - 2026

C+T is a collaboration with designer Thomas Roger, featuring a series of ceramic boxes combined with rope. Each piece is unique, inspired by Thomas Roger’s wooden objects and reinterpreted in ceramic by Clara Valdes.

Project name /  The Carafes / 2024

A collection of unique ceramic carafes, entirely hand-built using the coil-building technique. Comprising seven one-of-a-kind vessels, the series explores spontaneous forms and varying capacities. Each carafe is made from a different clay body, celebrating the diversity of the material while expressing the multiplication and evolution of a single form.
