ILLUSTRE PARIS x ATELIER MONOCHROME

When the minimalism of a ceramist meets the romanticism of a painter...

MEETING
Myrtille Ronteix, creator of Atelier Monochrome and Laurence Amélie Schneider, co-founder of Illustre Paris. Two women artists meet and work with four hands, rue de Verneuil in Paris, for a limited series of unique handmade pieces.

Myrtille, the ceramist, works with clay like a graphic artist works with a blank page. Laurence, the painter, has tamed the material in turn, discovering for the first time the workings of this ancestral craft. On the pure plates of Myrtille, Laurence deposits her modelled petals.

LIMITED SERIES
Each piece is made by hand. Series of 20 pieces per model, all unique.

INSPIRATION
Myrtille's refinement and minimalism meet Laurence's romantic poetry. Nature is at the heart of their common inspiration.

THE TECHNIQUE
Porcelain is a clay rich in kaolin, whose whiteness and translucence give it a contemporary charm. A mineral and sensual material, it is an inexhaustible source of inspiration.
