Although this instinctive form is guided by a love for the forms of Greco-Roman antiquity, it seems to cross eras and territories. The red sandstone suggests the warm colored lands found in Mediterranean countries. Each jar is a unique piece because entirely shaped by hand. During the manufacture the form is guided by an intention but the instinct makes each piece evolve in another direction. Also, all the pieces have a very distinct personality. They differ in their curve, the angles of the tubes or the place of the void drawn by the arch. The room is not glazed inside and is therefore not designed to receive water. Its double tubes can be used with dried flowers or plants. Each piece being unique the dimensions may vary slightly. The mano: "I like this room placed on the floor or on a piece of furniture, surrounded by eclectic objects, travel memories. Mix materials to create dialogue. ». LA MANO STUDIO: Of Franco-Spanish origin, Manon Oller was born in 1993 in Strasbourg. Today she lives and works in Lyon and develops a creation guided by the playful principle of the association – association of shapes, colors, of textures — in a way that maliciously questions the object and its function. After studying Art History at the University Manon Oller discovered ceramic art. Through this material she wishes to find formal answers to the theoretical problems she encounters at the University. She then joined the European Institute of Ceramic Arts in Guebwiller from which she graduated in 2019. Inspired by the Mediterranean, the ancient architecture or the utopian architecture of the Age of Enlightenment, by the modular and liberated design of the Memphis group, Manon Oller, favors in her studio only one method: that of play and experimentation. The same shape alternately excavated, cut and then assembled, nested or closed, can give rise to a multitude of objects.
