Sophie Faiola

HYMY Céramique – Bordeaux, France

Sophie Faiola presents an exclusive series of Limoges porcelain soliflore vases, inspired on the work of Su Jing . Hand-formed, each piece foregrounds the material’s inherent tension between control and spontaneity.

Porcelain is most often shaped through casting or molding. Sophie, however, works it by hand or on the wheel, allowing the material’s character to fully emerge.

She uses Limoges porcelain (France), considered among the nest in the world. Made from kaolin, quartz, and feldspar sourced from the region, it is known for its whiteness, delicacy, and re nement. Fired at 1300 degrees, it reaches exceptional strength: at maximum contraction, the material becomes remarkably durable.

Sophie Faiola presenta una serie exclusiva de soliflores en diálogo con la obra de Su Jing . Modeladas a mano, las piezas ponen en valor la tensión inherente entre control y espontaneidad de la materia.

La porcelana se trabaja habitualmente mediante colado o moldeado. Sophie, en cambio, la modela a mano o en torno, dejando que el carácter del material se exprese plenamente.

Utiliza porcelana de Limoges (Francia), considerada entre las mejores del mundo. Compuesta de caolín, cuarzo y feldespato, extraídos de esta región, destaca por su blancura, nura y delicadeza. Cocida a 1300 grados, alcanza una resistencia excepcional: la contracción máxima la convierte en una materia de gran solidez.
