Blooming the Future:

The story of a porcelain renaissance

I am Belgian, from Liège, and since my earliest childhood, like all Belgian children even today, I spent time on the beaches of the coast with my sister and my
brother, we were making flowers in
Crepe paper that we sold for a few seashells. It was simple,
joyful, almost magical: transforming a few pieces of nothing into treasures

Years later, a completely different moment brought me back to creating. A difficult time, when the future seemed uncertain, suspended. That's when Fleurir

Its name comes from Liège's motto: "Forcing the Future." These words have stayed with me.
Standing up. They inspired me to transform the ordeal into something beautiful and lasting. And that's how I started creating porcelain flowers.

Creating these flowers is a return to my roots. It's a way of making my

After that, several coats of paint are applied, sometimes in
Layering is used to create subtle nuances; then comes the glazing, which gives the petals their shine and softness. Several firings are required.
Sometimes necessary to gradually reveal the flower in all its delicacy. Each time it comes out of the oven, it's a new discovery; nothing is left to chance. Every gesture counts.

Giving or receiving a "Flowering the Future" flower is choosing a unique piece.
Poetic and sustainable. It's about enriching your everyday life with the gifts of craftsmanship.
more authentic: the emotion of the gesture, the beauty of the detail and a story to share.

"Fleurir l'Avenir" is my story, but it's also an invitation to take the time:
Time to look at things differently, to offer things differently, to bloom differently.
