The Rêveries

Rêverie
by Elsa Foulon
NYCxDESIGN Festival

Galerie PHILIA is proud to present Rêverie, an enchanting exhibition by contemporary designer Elsa Foulon, showcasing her groundbreaking ceramic creations during New York Design Week.

The title Rêverie, meaning “daydream” in French, perfectly captures the essence of Elsa Foulon’s work. This exhibition invites viewers to step into a dreamlike world where organic forms and sculptural beauty converge, blurring the line between art and design. Through Rêverie, Elsa explores the beauty of the fleeting moment, inviting contemplation on the delicate balance between thought and creation. The soft, flowing lines of her ceramics are not merely objects—they are meditations on space, light, and texture.

Originally rooted in the world of 20th-century decorative arts, Elsa Foulon has established herself as a visionary in contemporary ceramics. Entirely self-taught, she combines her background in design with an intuitive artistic sensibility to create sculptures that are both striking and delicate, each one revealing the intricate relationship between material, meaning, and form.

Working from her serene Parisian studio, Elsa embraces the ancient gestures of ceramic craftsmanship. Each piece is shaped through a thoughtful process, where the unpredictability of the kiln adds a unique dimension. Light often hides within the hollows of her sculptures, subtly illuminating their rough textures and highlighting the tactile beauty of the clay—evoking a quiet sense of intimacy and wonder.

Rêverie is an invitation to lose oneself in the dreamlike realm of Elsa Foulon’s ceramics, where contemporary design meets timeless craftsmanship.

Join us during NYCxDESIGN Festival for an immersive experience that merges art, light, and form in a celebration of beauty found in the organic and the unexpected.
