Her work moves fluidly between architecture, ceramics and furniture, merging artisanal techniques — hand-gouged porcelain, mixed materials, sculptural woodworking — with a contemporary architect’s eye for volume and light. Every piece she designs carries the same instinct: to treat an object as a small building, considered from every angle.
The Double Traces Shade continues Sophie Dries’s exploration of porcelain as a sculptural material, born from her collaboration with ceramists Thomas Vivant and Felix Galland on the Traces collection. Trained as an architect before turning to design, Dries approaches the wall sconce the way she would a small structure, letting two stacked, hand-gouged shades create depth and rhythm rather than simple illumination.
Pictured here in white porcelain with a glossy glaze, the piece is also offered in black porcelain or a matte finish, its light rising gently from below the upper shade. Each sconce is chiselled out by hand, so the texture of every piece carries small, deliberate variations. Suitable for bathroom installation, the Double Traces Shade brings the same overlapping, mirroring logic that runs through the entire Traces family of lighting.
Architect and designer Sophie Dries is a graduate of ENSA Paris-Malaquais and Aalto University of Helsinki. She also studied contemporary art at École du Louvre. After honing her skills at the famed studios of Jean Nouvel, Pierre Yovanovitch, and Christian Liaigre, Sophie Dries launched her namesake studio in Paris in 2014 and opened a second one in Milan in 2017. Her first collection of ceramics debuted at Salone Del Mobile in Milan, and her subsequent collections were showcased at many international fairs including PAD London, Collectible in Brussels, and The Salon Art + Design in New York. Besides designing limited editions of furniture focused on craftmanship, and working as a stage designer, Sophie is spearheading an array of residential and commercial projects.
