Honored to photograph the extraordinary work of DI VINCENZO POUJOULA at Maison&Objet 2026.

At the heart of this edition, their pieces were selected for "What’s New? In Decor", the fair’s highly curated space, highlighting the most forward-thinking and influential voices in contemporary design. Being chosen for this platform is not simply an exhibition moment.
It’s a recognition of artistic direction, material research, and architectural relevance on an international stage.

Presented also within “IN MATERIA” in FINE CRAFT by Ateliers d'Art de France, their work fully embodied the spirit of the exhibition: material as language, craftsmanship as architecture, object as presence.

Curated by Elizabeth Leriche, the scenography drew inspiration from Neoclassical Greek and Roman architecture, imagined as a form of contemporary archaeology.
A timeless, almost metaphysical staging, like a stargate into another era, where Di Vincenzo Poujoula’s ceramic pieces stood with strength and clarity.

I had the privilege of capturing two of their signature works: a monumental handcrafted ceramic dining table and sculptural pendant lights. Both pieces explore the raw and expressive power of clay. Texture, light, imperfection. Transforming functional design into sculptural architecture.

Founded by Claire Poujoula and Fausto Gill Di Vincenzo near Vallauris, a land shaped by masters such as Pablo Picasso and Roger Capron, the studio continues a legacy of ceramic innovation while pushing it toward monumental, architectural scale.

A special thank you to AD France and Anne Swynghedauw for the beautiful feature on Architectural Digest highlighting the power and presence of their work.

Proud to document a brand that doesn’t just create objects, but builds and reimagines a material universe.

Bushidō (武士道) is a Japanese word that literally means ‘The way of the Warrior’.

Spaces that invite you to connect with your body, mind & soul, hold a deeper kind of peace.
A peace that surrounds you the moment you enter them.
