Terrain Vague

Terrain Vague is rooted in experimentation and the desire to challenge the boundaries between art, craft and design. While each piece is produced using a serial process, they are nonetheless unique, bearing the traces of hand-crafting and the history of their conception, absorbing every stage of the process..

Bio

Terrain Vague is the meeting of designer Damien Gernay and ceramist Julie Istasse, a sensitive encounter that turns out to be the story of a lifetime.
The duo’s works reflect their attachment to nature, revealing its poetry through apparent simplicity and infusing us with emotions. They blend the smooth and the rough, control and spontaneity, craftsmanship and new technologies.
