A gently curved palm. A stroke of an index finger.

Making ceramic pieces is physical and bears witness of its creator.

It remembers every touch and it displays the traces on a permanent surface.

In etymology, the Latin word ‘humanus’ means human, and ‘humus’ means ground.

With other words, we are all coming from the soil. 

Each piece is a tribute to the beautiful and fertile earth. 

Clay, a pure and noble material sourced directly from the earth, is a living substance – rich, delicate and essential to life.

The pièces uniques are used at fine dining restaurant humus x hortense in Brussels
