Say Cheese!
say cheese!
Conceived as an invitation to share one of the warmest rituals of winter, the Say Cheese collection brings together everything needed to set up a real raclette table.
Cheese and charcuterie displays, wooden spatula rests, pan rests, knife holders, bowls, plates and napkin rings make up a complete service, where every detail counts to transform a convivial dinner into a refined moment.
The common thread running through this collection is the snowflake motif, featured on several pieces. A symbol of infinity and harmony, it evokes the beauty of fractals: those endlessly repeating shapes, both similar and always unique. Like each snowflake, every moment shared around the table becomes precious and singular, part of a continuum that connects the guests.
Say Cheese thus combines the art of mountain living with a contemporary approach to design, where aesthetics meet function, and where the pleasure of entertaining is accompanied by a poetic nod to the eternity of shared moments.

a tribute to sir terence conran
When The Conran Shop opened in Paris, just around the corner from where I grew up, I was eight years old.
For my mother, a single parent, it was a source of pride to bring home objects and pieces of furniture from this store. For me, it was the discovery of a universe where design was not only desirable but also accessible, tangible, and part of everyday life.
The influence of Sir Terence Conran went further. Through Habitat, he offered places where quality design, carefully chosen materials, and functional beauty were within reach. Those encounters shaped my vision and nourished my desire to create objects that carry meaning beyond their function.
The Terence collection was born from this legacy. Wider and lower cups designed for the gestures of daily life, where the interrupted handles allow the material to reveal its own strength during firing. These pieces are not only objects: they are a statement of gratitude, a reflection on the essence of design — minimal, honest, and deeply human.
Terence collection
earthenware prototype
Created in the summer of 2023, just before The Conran Shop Paris closed, the collection stands as both a farewell and a beginning: a tribute to Sir Terence Conran, and a declaration of what design can and should be.
THE KITE - the connected elevation
A symbol of guided elevation, it connects movement to origin.
Present at the bottom of Terence cups, this discreet symbol reveals the symbolic dimension of each creation.
confettis therapy
Timeless artefacts of celebration
The forms remain understated, the materials precise, as if to capture the brilliance without ostentation. On a tray, a party favor creates a rhythm; on a candlestick, the shadow of a celebration lingers, discreet. These are memories in relief, contained within a minimal grammar, so that the eye may rediscover the emotion rather than the effect.
The festival is a ritual. It marks the seasons, brings people together, and restores the rhythm of time. Sociologists speak of a collective effervescence; anthropologists, of a liminal moment where everything becomes possible; from a psychoanalytic perspective, it is recognized as the realm of play that allows for creation, this symbolic breath that heals and reconnects. The festival rebuilds the social bond as much as it soothes the inner self.
Then comes the aftermath, that silent chiaroscuro where the house settles. Empty glasses, slumbering ribbons, the last flame: a fullness remains, made of shared experience. Confettis Therapy precisely chooses this moment and offers it up: not the rumor, but its lingering presence; not the noise, but its joyful essence.
These pieces become artifacts of conviviality . On a console table, a tray holds keys and preserves the memory of a toast; on a bedside table, a candlestick creates a gentle peace. Every daily gesture becomes ritualized, prolonging joy in a calm and lasting form.
Thus, Confetti Therapy celebrates the art of receiving and its legacy: shared joy, transformed into form; a fleeting moment, transformed into an anchor. Objects to remind us that celebration, essential to life, continues to vigil when night falls.
Leekeeper
A vase designed to store leeks, extend their freshness with a little water, and give them an elegant place in the kitchen.
Inspired by the vocabulary of French tableware, the poireautier is a vase designed especially for leeks. No more stalks taking up too much space in the fridge: neatly placed in their vase, they find an elegant and unexpected home. Add a little water, and they’ll stay fresh longer — just like flowers in a bouquet.
Emblazoned with the phrase “Suck my leek”, the poireautier combines humor, practicality, and poetry.
houxlala
A tribute to the Houx collection from Digoin-Sarreguemine and Moulin-des-Loups
houxlala campain 2023
Persistent and luminous,
the holly leaf has long accompanied moments of celebration. A symbol of protection, hope and continuity, it is intimately connected to the festive season and to shared gatherings, when light, ritual and human connection take on a special significance.
The Houxlala collection was born from this symbolism, as well as from a family memory. It pays tribute to the Houxdinner service by Digoin Sarreguemines, which once graced the table of the designer’s paternal grandmother — a service associated with festive meals, reunions and the simple joy of being together.
At Porcelaine Moderne, the holly motif is reinterpreted with softness and restraint. Hand-painted in fine gold against the whiteness of the earthenware, it becomes a delicate sign of protection and shared joy.
Houxlala celebrates the art of hosting, the beauty of family tables and the quiet magic of traditions passed down, season after season.
