Landy Rakoto shapes clay as one would explore a language - a dialogue between hand, material, and time. A ceramic designer based in the Pays de la Loire, she sees her craft as a spiritual pursuit through gesture, seeking the extraordinary in everyday objects.
Her work navigates rustic, brutalist, and classical forms, with a particular focus on organic textures and bold yet inherently comfortable volumes. Fascinated by beautiful, functional objects, she is drawn to the ancestral craft of pottery, practiced by humans for thousands of years. Each of her pieces carries this heritage forward.
After beginning her journey in Berlin, working in a communal studio and alongside Jérémy Bellina, she established her own atelier in 2021 in Brissac-Quincé, Anjou. There, she refines a practice that is both rigorous and instinctive, rooted in sustainability, durability, and the poetry of the handmade.
Her ceramics are designed to transcend time - where simplicity meets strength, and balance meets character.
