Each piece designed by Clémentine Giaconia is turned or modeled, and enameled by hand, which makes each one unique. Sensitive to material, color and texture, ceramics opened up a new free field of expression with infinite variations.

Clémentine is an interior architect and object designer. A transversality which more often means that she is identified as a creator in the broad sense.

After a degree in Art History, Clémentine studied Architecture and Design. Together with Frédéric Forest, she founded the creative studio Forest & Giaconia. They designed numerous retail projects (hospitality and event spaces, boutiques in France and abroad), furniture (tables, sofas, armchairs, chairs, consoles, lamps...), as well as objects and service accessories for publishers and French luxury houses. There, Clémentine worked across two scales, collaborating with both industrial manufacturers and French master artisans.

Today, 15 years after founding the interior architecture and design studio, and in a constant pursuit of creative exploration, Clémentine is inaugurating a new form of expression through an intimate medium: clay. Trained by several ceramicists, her approach is nurtured by precise and varied techniques.

Clémentine lives and works in Paris. All of her objects are made of stoneware, crafted entirely by hand, either in limited series or as exclusives. Each piece is designed with its use, function, environment, and destination in mind: Hospitality, Chefs, Galleries, and Residential projects.
