Mr Céramiuques

Based in Biarritz, Mélissa Ruffault works with pieces that are simple and timeless, halfway between utilities and sculptures. His pieces are made one by one by hand, often unique pieces or produced in very small series, using various techniques such as tower, modeling, pigeon and plate. His ceramics use a repertoire of both primary and architectural forms, between irregular organic designs and more drawn linear sculptures. In a minimalist and uncluttered style, Melissa fashions sandstone pieces, where the earth is sometimes enamelled, sometimes left raw, with a common thread based on neutral tones ranging from white to beige, and aiming to cross time.
