Lily Bonnet

Portraits in medallions at the bottom of an ashtray, fleeting silhouettes, chases around a pitcher... Lily Bonnet imagines delicate ceramics with rustic and picturesque illustrations that evoke the ceramics of yesteryear.

A graduate of the Beaux-Arts in Lyon, Lily Bonnet trained at the Christian Dior studio, where she designed prints for the house's scarf collection for five years. Fascinated by the chromatic possibilities, nuances and textures of ceramics, she has been enameling this material since 2020 through functional and decorative pieces, both sensitive and regressive.

Lily Bonnet is inspired by the Italian primitives as well as her dreams, memories and daily life to dress a vase or a teapot. Her pieces are made of smooth white stoneware, sometimes modeled, sometimes hand-turned, and are a support for her illustrations inspired by fauna and flora. Unique pieces or small series that she paints raw, with colored slips, fired and then glazed in transparent gloss before a second firing.
