Timeless essentials
Soul, imperfection, sensitivity
Elea is a design studio dedicated to creating interior objects, rooted in a slow and poetic approach to everyday life. Our pieces are made slowly, in small series and on demand, with deep respect for the rhythm of the hand and the material. No two pieces are alike: each one reveals its own texture, balance, and character. We work exclusively with natural materials, in a sustainable, waste-free way. Whether it's a vase, a wall sculpture, a cup, a bowl or a full set of plates, every piece is designed and developed in our studio in Bordeaux. Most of our ceramics are entirely handmade on-site, and we also collaborate with other artisans to create new tableware and decorative collections that remain true to our wabi sabi identity.
A tribute to slowness
Each of our pieces is designed to endure and to turn everyday moments into quiet rituals. Each object carries its own soul and meaning.
Handcrafted in Bordeaux, our ceramic plates, bowls, cups, trays and salad bowls are shaped from stoneware. Inspired by the textured simplicity of Japanese tableware, they are presented in collections of clean lines and subtle tones.
Every piece remains faithful to a handmade process and a slow-living philosophy, embracing imperfection and the raw beauty of the material.
You can purchase our stoneware online as a complete, harmonious tableware set or assemble it piece by piece: sets of 4 to 12 handcrafted plates, ramen bowls, stoneware cups and mugs, or trays. Each combination forms a unique and timeless wabi sabi table setting.
