Elsa Foulon, before becoming a ceramist, was born the daughter of an antique dealer and then became a dealer in 20th century decorative arts. She has always had a very personal taste, accumulating images of this century rich in creators. From this visual experience, her lighting fixtures are born as sculptures, her free and pure forms mixing her artistic and technical skills as a designer.
This self-taught thirty-something loves large formats that seemed incompatible with her medium: she has now developed her own plate technique and materials that allow her to achieve her beautiful volumes while maintaining the lightness of her organic structures.
Despite the skill of her processes, the mastery of her subject, what interests Elsa in the secrecy of her Parisian studio, is the beauty of the ancestral gesture: the long time between the idea and the object is always unique. The unpredictability of the fire shapes her lights. The material that these hands work with brings sensitivity to contemporary design.
Finally, the light that she will hide in the hollow of her sculpture, will subtly reveal the roughness of the clay.

Galerie Philia
Galerie Philia is an international contemporary sculptural design and art gallery representing emerging and established designers and artists. The gallery is the brainchild of two brothers who share a lifetime passion for art, literature and philosophy. Their distinct academic background sets them apart from their peers, as it sees them following a rhizomatic and transcultural approach in the way they select works. This involves combining elements from multiple cultures in what becomes a network of harmoniously interconnected roots, ultimately revealing the beauty of each unique creation. The gallery’s non-hierarchical curation sits apart from the ephemerality of trends and focuses instead on the true aesthetic quality of the piece – alluring and timeless. Unlike others, Galerie Philia does not focus on a single style – whether minimalist, organic or raw – but rather embraces heterogeneity. The Galerie Philia takes pride in discovering new talents, providing them with multiple international platforms to showcase their latest creations. As well as propelling the newest generation of 21st century collectible design, Galerie Philia also works with internationally known design artists. Galerie Philia has a strong international presence, with galleries in Geneva, New York and Singapore. In addition to their permanent spaces, the gallery organizes temporary group exhibitions and artists residencies in first-class locations around the world.
