Céline Salomon

Céline Salomon is a French artist and ceramic designer based in Paris. A 2013 graduate of the École d'Architecture de Versailles, she worked in several architectural practices before turning to ceramics in 2016, drawn by the desire for greater creative freedom and a more human scale. She trained first in Paris with Grégoire Scalabre and Christophe Bonnard, then spent two years in Jingdezhen, China, learning from local master craftsmen and immersing herself in the dialogue between tradition and modernity.

Back in Paris in 2018, she founded her studio and launched Atelier Zû, a tableware collection exploring blue, granite and calligraphic tracings, before expanding her practice to larger-scale pieces, combining ceramics with other raw materials in furniture and lighting.

Céline's work is inspired by the lines of nature and architecture. It questions the duality of the environment we evolve in and alternates between a delicate and a rough line, a robust whole and a subtle detail. Each of her pieces comes from a tension between form and material that emerges from the exploration of memory and sense, evoking past and present traces. The evocation of strong mineral and rocky landscape comes in dialogue or contrast with modern architectural lines.
