Birdcage - Stoneware, Enamel - Lucas Huillet

Ceramic birdhouse

This series of birdhouses was born out of a desire to change my approach, to step away from my usual typologies and explore a more free, more decorative object.
I wanted to work on a more instinctive drawing, applying to a new form the materials and textures I love: I worked with the red sandstone to play with oxidation and reduction caused by the surface enamel, experimenting with aligned brushstrokes and creating a relief between gloss and matte.
A project a bit apart, more intuitive, born out of a need to play, to experiment — far from the daily function, but always in the act.

Materials: Enamelled sandstone


About Lucas Huillet:
Trained at the Camondo School in design and interior architecture, this academic path opened the doors to collaborations with prestigious houses and institutions.
In 2018, he created his studio as a space for exploration where ceramics, interior architecture and object design intersect around expertise in working with natural materials, allowing him to design unique pieces, which are both everyday objects and works in their own right.
Today, the studio continues to combine artisanal tradition and contemporary innovation, with the aim of creating objects that are meaningful and authentic.

Lucas Huillet's creations have been exhibited at Paris Design Week, Collectible in Brussels, and Dubai's Al Shindagha Museum.
