A guide through the symbols we choose and the way they shape our life
Pennants trace in the air a space devoted to celebration.
Universal symbolism
Present in popular traditions across the world, pennants accompany moments of gathering and celebration.
They connect places and people, transforming an ordinary space into an in-between realm conducive to sharing, play and collective memory.
PM > Pennants evoke the importance of simple rituals — those visible signs that grant permission for celebration, play and the pleasure of being together.
Gilded against the whiteness of the ceramic, they remind us that joy is also built within these light interludes, where we gather freely in a shared space.

KITE
CLOUD SMUDGING PLATE
I CALL THE UNIVERSE
A silent traveller, it forms, transforms and fades away, allowing the sky to breathe.
Universal symbolism
The cloud represents transition, impermanence, the thought that dissolves. In certain cultures, it is seen as a messenger between gods and humankind.
At Porcelaine Moderne
The cloud becomes a metaphor for lightness and letting go. It invites us to accept the movement of life, to allow to pass what must pass.
A toy that rises into the air, held by a thread — free, yet connected.

The heart travels through the centuries, carried by a profound force — a vital centre, the seat of life, soul and emotion — evoking what is felt even before it is expressed.
Universal symbolism
Since Antiquity, the heart has been associated with what is essential: connection, commitment and sincerity.
Its symbolic form, passed down through time and widely disseminated during the twentieth century, has endured because it expresses the importance of what is felt as much as what is spoken.
At once that which binds and that which guides, the heart represents an inner centre — a point of balance between emotion and integrity.
At Porcelaine Moderne
THE HEART accompanies gestures of care, words offered and emotions shared, as an invitation to listen to what feels deeply true and aligned.

It shines when all else fades, a night-light for dreams and a mirror of the unseen sun.
Universal symbolism
The moon symbolises cycles, the feminine, intuition and mystery. It accompanies the night, governs the tides and reminds us that everything is rhythm and transformation.
At Porcelaine Moderne
The moon embodies a connection to the intimate and to inner time. It reminds us that every phase — growth, full radiance, retreat — holds its own beauty.
Tree of sun and light, it rises straight towards the sky, a silent witness to perseverance and victory over adversity. Between desert and oasis, it embodies the promise of life where all seemed barren.
Universal symbolism
Resilience and vitality: it grows in arid lands, a symbol of inner strength.
Victory and glory: in Antiquity, the palm branch crowned the victorious.
Abundance and generosity: its fruit nourishes, its shade protects.
Eternity: ever green, it is a sign of peace and immortality.
At Porcelaine Moderne
The palm tree becomes a sign of vital momentum and continuity. It connects earth and sky, the everyday and the unseen. In its verticality lies a promise: to grow despite adversity, and to keep the light as one’s horizon.
The wheat sways in the wind, a promise of harvest and sharing.
Universal symbolism
A symbol of fertility, abundance and transformation: the grain becomes bread, nourishment for all.
At Porcelaine Moderne

A shape of renewal, the crescent evokes the art of beginning and the promise held within what is coming into being.

Crossing the sky like an instinctive thought, carrying within it the secret of a wish, the shooting star appears and then vanishes, leaving behind the trace of a desire formed in the moment.
Universal symbolism
Since time immemorial, the shooting star has been associated with wishes fulfilled and with signs of destiny.
It embodies synchronicity: that precise moment when an external event seems to answer an inner movement, revealing a deeply held desire, sometimes long concealed.
At Porcelaine Moderne
The shooting star symbolises the strength of wishes and dreams entrusted to the universe.
It invites us to acknowledge our desires, to express them without fear, and to welcome those fleeting yet meaningful moments when a sign, however brief, can reveal a true power of transformation.

A slender and singular presence, the flamingo asserts its place with grace, in a balance that is both visible and inward.

Through its posture and its life within a group, it embodies an inner stability that affirms itself among others, reminding us that identity finds its place within the collective without ever dissolving into it.

The silence of white and the precision of gold — a precious balance without ostentation.
Universal symbolism
White is associated with clarity, calm and possibility. It opens a space of availability, a soothing ground upon which anything may take shape.
Gold, by contrast, captures the light and marks what matters. Used with restraint, it reveals without excess, highlights without dominating.
Together, white and gold form an ancient dialogue between silence and radiance, between reserve and presence.
At Porcelaine Moderne
The whiteness of the earthenware is conceived as a space of welcome — a gentle, open surface for projection.
Gold, applied by hand, inscribes upon it a deliberate gesture, an attention given to form and meaning.
This alliance gives rise to calm, luminous objects, imbued with significance, designed to accompany everyday life with softness, precision and restraint.
Symbols accompany humankind, travelling through time, cultures and dreams as quiet markers.
A star, a heart, a cloud, a sheaf of wheat… each carries within it profound meanings that connect us to one another.
Each object, each symbol — moon, star, clover, rainbow, kite — holds an invitation to dream, to remember, to hope.
These symbols reflect a vision of the art of living in which poetry intertwines with everyday life, reminding us that beauty resides both in what is already here and in what is yet to come, in the simplest gestures as well as in the grandest wishes.
This guide seeks to share the keys to our intuitions and choices.
It does not impose a single meaning, but opens paths of interpretation, offering everyone the freedom to find what they need within it: a reference point, a secret message, a keepsake, a talisman, or simply a source of joy.
