Category: The Desktop

A stoneware footed pedestal with a sculptural silhouette from the La Mére collection by Marie Michielssen. Defined by its organic molded shape and finished in an oyster white glaze over dark clay. 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.

Designed by Belgian artist Marie Michielssen. Each piece is unique and hand-molded based on her papier mache sculptures. Her work is combination of opposites – rational and intuitive, masculine and feminine, graphic and organic; interwoven with contradictions to form an eclectic whole.
