Elisa Uberti is a French artist and designer. After working for over fifteen years in the fashion industry, she decided to train in ceramics. Driven by an intense passion for refined and timeless objects, she turned to craftsmanship. Drawn to the beauty of ceramics, she felt the need for creative freedom and a return to simplicity. Since 2018, in her workshop in Roubaix, she has been shaping stoneware to create works that sit at the crossroads of art and design. Her creations feature comforting, curved forms born from an ancient manual craft. In her work, she constantly seeks the delicate balance between the precision of technical constraints and the essential freedom and spontaneity of the creative gesture.
Invisible Collection and Mobilier National partner to promote contemporary creation and present limited-edition designs. Mobilier National, a major institution for contemporary creation and the promotion of French decorative arts, has been dedicated since the seventeenth century to preserving, restoring, and managing unique state-owned collections of furniture, tapestries, and decorative objects. In recent years, Mobilier National has broadened its scope by launching an annual “Campagne d’Acquisition” to support creativity and integrate contemporary designs into the national collections. These works are then exhibited in prestigious institutional buildings.
Thanks to this unprecedented partnership, a curated selection of contemporary furniture from Mobilier National’s latest Campagne d’Acquisition is now available in a limited edition.
The Jeanne#1 lamp, one of Elisa Uberti’s latest projects, is handcrafted from white stoneware and wool threads. It draws inspiration from a journey to Africa, where mangroves appear to dance on the water and landscapes radiate an energizing and spiritual serenity. The lamp’s design features a naïve, enveloping volume. Its combination of materials and shapes evokes a symbiosis with nature and a deep connection to the passage of time, symbolized by the wool threads. It embodies the heartfelt memory of a distant land and invites an inner journey, stirring delicate and poetic emotions.
