Category: Desktop

A stoneware footed pedestal with a sculptural silhouette from the La Mére collection, Marie Michielssen's ode to womanhood. Defined by its organic hand molded shape and finished in a warm dark brown, almost black, glaze. The piece transitions effortlessly between roles - organizing desk ephemera, displaying culinary essentials, or housing personal artifacts in intimate spaces. Each curve and contour reflects Michielssen's meditation on utility and form, creating an object that serves both practical purpose and contemplative presence.

Artist Marie Michielssen of Belgium crafts each unique piece by hand, drawing inspiration from her papier mache sculptures. Her artistic vision weaves together contrasting elements – blending the rational with intuitive, masculine with feminine, and graphic with organic forms – creating pieces that embody harmonious duality.
