Find pieces that stand out from the ordinary.
My objects start from the clay and take shape, either in ceramic or in jesmonite (non-toxic acrylic resin). I've been experimenting with the plasticity of clay plasticity, in search of raw, spontaneous form. Then I realized that I enjoyed the creative process, but was often disappointed by the final object, which changed after each firing. So I thought about a way of working without firing, without glazing, while preserving the aspects of the clay. I create molds, then draw the shapes of the object's interior and exterior void. I cast them in jesmonite, which I color in the mass using natural pigments that I make (charcoal, earth, rock, plants). The gesture of the hand leaves irregularities, traces and holes on the object, reflecting the encounter between the hand - the earth - the resin.

We partner exclusively with independently owned or designer-led firms, ensuring that each piece reflects personal passion and artistic vision.
We focus on long-lasting, high-quality pieces. This means that every item is made with enduring materials, often in small quantities to last for decades.
Every piece reflects the designer or artist's distinct creative vision and identity. We believe this is what makes the “extra” in extraordinary.
We vet our partners based on their production practices and demand transparency on where, how, and with which materials products are made.
