Ado Chale

Known for his intricate mosaic furniture inlays, Ado Chale brings raw yet refined artistry to otherwise everyday objects. Born in Belgium, he draws on materials like wood, bone, metal, and precious stones that are broken down, meticulously arranged, and overlaid with resin to create his signature Ado Chale coffee tables and other domestic objects.

The quintessential Ado Chale table makes for a spectacular addition to any home or interior leaning towards raw, soulful, intricate design. Over the decades, Ado Chale’s pieces have been exhibited at the Museum of Fine Arts in Nancy, France, the Ixelles Museum in Belgium, and the Palais des Papes in Avignon.

Carlo Moretti Glass

Established in 1958 in the heart of Venice, Italy’s Murano glassblowing hub by brothers Carlo and Giovanni Moretti, the Carlo Moretti brand combines the century-old craft of mouth-blown Murano glass with contemporary Italian design. Clean lines, modern decorations, and clear surfaces are the distinctive traits of Carlo Moretti’s creations, which embody the union of the two souls of this versatile material: solid and liquid.


Utilizing bright palettes and an impactful contrast between negative space created by clear glass and interspersed with contemporary use of color, Carlo Moretti glasses and decorative objects make the perfect table centerpiece or addition to an authentic glasswork collection. Moretti’s use of marbling sets his glassware apart from more simplistic techniques. With more than five decades of glass-making experience, Carlo Moretti was a master of his trade in every sense of the word.


Drawing on his travels, studies, and the rich history brought to life by Murano’s master glassblowers, Carlo Moretti glass design pieces like the Carlo Moretti vase are truly one of a kind. Each Murano crystal piece is numbered and signed before leaving the care of Moretti’s experienced craftsmen. This promise of singularity accompanied by the attention-grabbing designs of Carlo Moretti glasses and vases cater to a clientele of fine art collectors, admirers, and those who value owning a piece of Italian heritage.


Today, Carlo Moretti’s glassware is displayed in more than 20 museums worldwide, a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry that goes into every Carlo Moretti glass creation.

Ceramics | Sculptures

Perfected by clay artists over thousands of years, ceramic sculptures have been stalwarts of the art and interior design sphere for nearly just as long. As a result, it can be nearly impossible to find a home that doesn’t incorporate a ceramic sculpture of some kind in its decor. Given this popularity, it’s easy to underappreciate the beauty, singularity, and uniqueness the right classic or abstract ceramic sculpture can bring to your home or outdoor living space. 


There is no limit to the varying styles or techniques talented sculptors can use to turn ceramic art into their specific masterpieces. However, like most maestros, the ceramic artistic greats quickly specialize in only a few techniques that turn their sculptures from art pieces to attention-grabbing centerpieces. 


Modern, minimalistic, and championing organic shapes and clean lines, Jan Vogelpoel is an artistic powerhouse. Her sculptures exude awe-inspiring simplicity that captures the gaze whether it’s a vase or brutalist abstract tile. 


On the other end of the spectrum, creatives like Agnes Sandahl draw inspiration from the greats in other mediums including the likes of Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. Brilliant turquoise and cerulean glaze the surface of some of her abstract ceramic sculptures while others project their earthen beauty by remaining elegantly unpainted. 


And, for those in search of a one-of-a-kind nucleus to their design flow, acquiring a vintage piece by a ceramic icon like Aldo Londi is not only an admirable achievement but a milestone in any art lover's collection journey.

Fornasetti

The Italian designer, painter, sculptor, craftsman, and decorator Piero Fornasetti cultivated a highly original style throughout his career. Awestruck by the past greatness of Italian art, Piero Fornasetti developed an eclectic style that drew inspiration from, but was not confined to, the motifs of the Novecento movement that branched out of Neo-Classicism. Instead, Piero Fornasetti incorporated Early Renaissance ornamental and pictorial motifs in his work that spanned a variety of mediums. Silk scarves, furniture, porcelain plates, vessels, vases, and other decorative objects often served as his canvas, and his work became instantly recognizable thanks to consistent depictions of the face of his one great muse, Lina Cavalieri. 


Debuted during his “Tema e Variazioni” series, Lina Cavalieri, an opera singer and actress, became his signature motif and the famed “Fornasetti face.” Her image adorned his most prized artworks including the highly regarded Fornasetti plates and Fornasetti furniture


In the 1980s, Piero Fornasetti’s work became immensely popular among Postmodern designers. Their influence and sway have helped spur the popularity of Fornasetti prints and other decor pieces that still inspire and awe even today.

Hugh Findletar

Born in Jamaica and educated in New York, Hugh Findletar moved to Italy 23 years ago where he quickly and forever fell in love with Murano and its glass blowers. Photographer by trade with a particular interest in portraiture and being a florist as he jokingly defines himself, he worked for seven years before introducing the world and our tables to his flamboyant “Flowerheadz”. The roots of this project lie deep into his love for eternal endurance (glass being the only material to offer this to humanity) and his influences: Ancient Greece, Eritrea and banquet cups from the Roman Empire. Each head has its own character, and they are real personalities — each has a name (Tess, Chris, Tyron, Agnes and Hugh) and they all assume their Baroque essence.

Paul McCobb

Boston native Paul McCobb (1917-1969) was best known for what the New York Times called his “sleek, uncluttered and modular design”.

Pierre Bonnefille

A French artist, painter, and designer recognized as Maître d’art (Master of Art) by the French Ministry of culture in 2010, Pierre Bonnefille is undoubtedly one of the modern greats. Born in 1958 in Saint-Quentin, a city in northern France, Pierre Bonnefille has lived and worked in Paris since 1985.

 

Using materials and textures sourced from natural pigments and metallic powders, the intensity, color, and movements of light in Bonnefille's work propose a ceaseless new interpretation of artistic design, giving his pieces a unique and particular identity. Drawing inspiration from the architectural marvels of Venice, Pompei, and Kyoto, Pierre Bonnefille’s work captures the techniques, silhouettes, and ambiance that makes each of these cities unique. His wall compositions and furniture pieces have been displayed across the globe including New York, Shanghai, and Paris; with commissions from prestige luxury brands including Cartier, Hermès, and Loro Piana.

 

LECLAIREUR showcases some of Bonnefille’s most emblematic series: ’Bronze Paintings,’ ‘Furoshiki Drawings,’ and his home collection, ‘Metamorphosis.’

 

The ‘Bronze Paintings’ explore metallic textures, yet is far from traditional bronze work. Bronze stretches out in a metallic mesh, revealing moving landscapes, aquatic reflections, and silky surfaces that resonate in the light.

 

The ‘Furoshiki Drawings’ capture the centuries-old Japanese traditional art of wrapping in two dimensions through carbon and bronze.

 

His crowning glory, the ‘Metamorphosis’ home collection series, pays homage to geometry and includes items such as cabinets and consoles with raw, clean edges. Implementing techniques like calligraphy, abstract painting, and powerfully leveraging negative space, Pierre Bonnefille’s artwork is a priceless addition to any collector or design-minded art lover.

Pierre Jeanneret

Pierre Jeanneret was a visionary of modernist architecture and designer. He pioneered a new aesthetic vocabulary that placed function and order over embellishment—Jeanneret’s work imbuing the strict geometry of modernism with energetic diagonals and lighter materials like cane and wood. In the early 1950s Jeanneret joined his cousin, renown architect LeCorbusier, in Chandigarh, India, where they embarked on a massive urban-planning project, laying out the city and designing buildings and furniture. Though Corbusier abandoned the project halfway through, Jeanneret remained for 15 years as the project’s chief architect. The city remains a masterpiece of the modern vision.

Pierre Jeanneret Chairs

A visionary of modernist design, Swiss architect Pierre Jeanneret and his more famous cousin, Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, also known as Le Corbusier, took the world of architecture by clean-lined, geometrical storm. 


Graduating from the École des Beaux-Arts in Geneva in 1921, Pierre joined Le Corbusier’s Paris office and collaborated with his cousin on a variety of acclaimed architectural projects across Europe. Most notably, the pair were responsible for the architecture and design of the modernist Villa Savoye and Maison La Roche in Paris, as well as the groundbreaking apartment building of Immeuble Clarté in Geneva, Switzerland.


At odds over the politics of World War II, the cousins initially parted ways. Pierre joined the French resistance while Le Corbusier threw in his hat with the occupying forces of Vichy. For more than a decade the cousins refused to work together. They only reconciled in 1950, when Le Corbusier invited Pierre to join him on a project that would later become his crowning architectural achievement—the urban planning and design of the city of Chandigarh in India. 


As their building plans and designs took shape, Pierre Jeanneret took it upon himself to design furniture to suit the offices and government outposts they were creating. Inspired by the materials readily available in and around Chandigarh, Pierre went on to pioneer a new style of furniture that valued functionality and modern minimalism over embellishment. 


Primarily crafted from lightweight teak, cane, or sissoo wood, the raw, earthy, and unassuming color palette contrasted strongly with his use of nearly clinically straight lines and bold geometric silhouettes. The Pierre Jeanneret chair was one of his most revolutionary creations and paid homage to his dedication to minimalism, being the first functional chair to require no fasteners. 


Unlike the gaudy, metallic, and embellished influences drawn on by other designers of the era, Pierre Jeanneret’s designs preferred to contrast shapes and silhouettes, pairing gentle curves with the delineation of sharp, clean outlines.


Halfway through the planning and construction of Chandigarh, Le Corbusier abandoned the project, leaving Pierre to oversee the conclusion of his life’s work and remain in Chandigarh until his death in 1967. Unaware of the pioneering nature of the furniture inhabiting their buildings, the residents of Chandigarh gradually did away with much of Pierre's original work. 


Only as minimalism made its global debut in the 1990s did refurbishers and collectors realize the value of the simple, unassuming Pierre Jeanneret chairs hidden among other used furniture in scrapyards and thrift stores across India. 


Today, the iconic Pierre Jeanneret kangaroo chair and Pierre Jeanneret lounge chair serve as centerpieces in homes around the world that value exclusivity and minimalist design. Although there are many replicas of Pierre Jeanneret's creations, the originals themselves are quite rare. 


Owning a vintage Pierre Jeanneret dining chair or stool carries a form of simplistic nostalgia. It exudes an atmosphere of relaxation and functionality few designers have been able to embody in their furniture since.

Zsolt Simon

Zsolt Simon, is a Hungarian ceramic artist. He describes his sculptures as movement studies without real forms. His goal is not to catch the forms but the process of forming. He creates the sculptures in his own advanced version of slip casting – traditionally a potter’s technique where liquid clay, or slip, is poured into a plaster mold. But Simon intentionally lets the slip leak between the cavities of the mold, forming intricate effects between the inside and outside of his sculptures. Simon's works had  been exhibited internationally, and won numerous awards, including at the prestigious International Ceramic Biennale of Korea.
