Maison Capucine de la Boulaye designs and makes ceramic lights and sculptures in studios between Paris and Munich. Nothing is industrialised: every piece passes through the same hands, from the first coil to the packing.

Editions are deliberately short — five, twelve pieces, sometimes only one. Unique pieces are signed and dated underneath. We also accept bespoke commissions for interior architecture projects.

Capucine de la Boulaye is a French ceramic artist based in Munich.

After a distinguished career in luxury hospitality and finance, Capucine has chosen to dedicate herself fully to her true calling: sculpture and the art of ceramic light-making in ceramic.

Her connection to clay began in 2009, while pregnant with her first child, when she walked into the Paris studio of Hans Marks in Neuilly-sur-Seine. It was Hans who first gave her a taste for the material — training her primarily through live nude figure sculpture, a discipline that proved a true revelation. It was there, shaping the human form in clay, that her life long bond with earth and material was born. There is a particular satisfaction in bringing a creation to life from raw earth — each piece, whether intended or not, captures an emotional state at a precise moment in time. Every work is a mirror of a mood, a singular feeling suspended in ceramic.

After several years devoted to the nude figure, Capucine turned her attention to wheel-throwing, joining the studio of Augusto Tozzola — the great ceramic master now based in Faïence. It was the radiant Maurane Closier who trained her in Tozzola's technique: precise, rigorous, and guided by his enduring mantra — "Master your classics, and only then will you become an artist."

Today, Capucine is ready — and full of quiet excitement — to share her creations with the world, hoping they will resonate with those who encounter them.
