Clara Valdes, a designer of objects who trained at the Haute École des Arts du Rhin (HEAR) and who is based in Alsace, explores clay through functional and sculptural pieces. She develops a local, seasonal approach, creating connections between container and content, particularly through food and wine. Each piece reflects her commitment to responsible, artisanal practices. Every plate is hand-shaped, with subtle variations that make each one unique.
