Ceramics
Alexandra and Eloise · Volupté · Madrid
Volupté Studio was founded by Alexandra and Eloise in Madrid. Bringing together backgrounds in design, ceramics, and photography, they create functional objects shaped by material exploration and a shared curiosity for form, proportion, and making.
Working primarily with ceramics, their practice is guided by the belief that every object should have a clear purpose. They approach each piece with careful attention to proportion, texture, and longevity, designing objects that are intended to remain relevant through use rather than novelty.
Our selection brings together candle holders, sculptural vases, plates, and serving dishes that reflect Volupté Studio’s fascination with geological formations and functional design, balancing sculptural presence with forms developed for the table.

Handcrafted in stoneware by Volupté Studio in Madrid, the Nao Cocotte combines sculptural form with practical function. Designed for serving warm dishes, its generous proportions retain heat while bringing a considered presence to the table. Made using the studio’s own stoneware and glazes, each cocotte is individually finished by hand, resulting in subtle variations that celebrate the character of handcrafted ceramics.
Handcrafted in stoneware by Volupté Studio in Madrid, the Bailén Plate is designed for serving dishes with sauces, broths, and layered compositions. Made using traditional ceramic techniques and finished with the studio’s own glazes, its gently curved form balances functionality with a refined contemporary silhouette.
Hand cast in plaster by Volupté Studio in Madrid, the Seam Candle Holder draws inspiration from geological rock formations and fractured stone. Composed of two sculptural forms joined by a precise seam, it explores the meeting point between natural landscapes and contemporary design. With its textured surface and architectural silhouette, the candle holder functions as both a sculptural object and a holder for a standard taper candle, celebrating the subtle variations created through the handmade process.
Handcrafted in ceramic by Volupté Studio in Madrid, the Stone Bloom Vase draws inspiration from weathered rock formations and geological landscapes. Its softly rounded silhouette and tactile surface reflect the forms shaped by wind, water, and time, creating a sculptural vessel for fresh flowers, branches, or seasonal foliage. Each vase is individually made, allowing the natural variations of the ceramic process to give every piece its own character.
