Georges Pelletier
Those familiar with the work of Belgian ceramic artist Georges Pelletier know there is much more to his unique floor lamps and table lamps than meets the eye. From his stately, intricately detailed Totem floor lamp to his sculptural Owl table lamp, Pelletier’s talent for marrying ceramics with a simple light source to create complex shadow play will transform any interior into an illuminated work of art.
Born in Brussels in 1938, Pelletier developed a passion for ceramics in his youth. At merely 15 years old, Pelletier moved to Paris to study at the École Nationale Supérieure d’Arts et Métiers (now called Arts et Métiers ParisTech) before he went on to train in ceramics at the Pioulier School in Vence, France. Among his early instructors were ceramist Raphael Giarrusso and artist Fernand Léger. However, it was while working alongside a collective of potters in Accolay, Burgundy — a studio called Accolay Pottery, established by apprentices to well-known ceramicist Alexandre Kostanda — that he was likely inspired to experiment with cutouts and other carving techniques.
In 1961, Pelletier opened his first workshop in Paris, selling his ceramic lamps at the Saint-Ouen flea market. His works caught the eye of furniture design and manufacturing company Roche Bobois for which he created a series of lighting collections from 1961 to 1973.
In later years, Pelletier’s designs attracted the attention of Mathieu Tournaire, son of Philippe Tournaire, the founder of jewelry manufacturer Maison Tournaire. Charmed by Pelletier’s ceramic works and the playful light shows his fixtures would create in a space, Mathieu proposed a collaboration to develop a series of luminaires that would merge Maison Tournaire’s use of precious metals, such as silver and gold, with Pelletier’s distinct ceramics artistry. The partnership yielded a six-piece collection — three “Sun” luminaires, two floor lamps and a totem pole. Only three copies of each work exist.
In 1973, Pelletier opened a new workshop in Cannes, where he continues to work to this day. His ceramic lighting sculptures are coveted by art collectors worldwide.

- Contemporary White Enamel Ceramic Mirror by Frederic BourdiecBy Frédéric BourdiecLocated in Holmfirth, GBContemporary white enamel ceramic mirror by Frederic Bourdiec. Size: 32 cm x 32 cm x 5 cm (depth) Signature: Initialed ‘F B’ bottom left Made in Marseille, France About: Architect and ceramicist Frédéric Bourdiec believes that an object must be understood. His pieces speak of the geometry of the city, the aridity of the HBM (French low coast habitations) where he grew up or of the brutalist and functionalist architecture of the 50s/70s. He thinks that mathematically and structurally everything should be possible, so he tests the constraints of the material, the oven, the cooking and the deformations. He questions finesses, staves, assembly modes and textures. He finds a strong resonance in the work of the ceramics of architecture by Pierre and Vera Szekely...Category
