Cordon Bleu

Cordon Bleu is a stoneware wall light, handcrafted using a custom extrusion machine. Long stoneware profiles are layered in tight rows over a form, then worked by hand while preserving the direct, tubular character of the material. Striated with parallel lines, with each joint remaining visible, the piece moves between the precision of a mechanical process and the sensitivity of hand forming, creating a textured relief and sculptural presence on the wall.

Extruded and hand-formed stoneware
