About
Cécile Mestelan, a French artist from Biarritz, moved to Portugal in 2013, inspired by her passion for ceramics. Dividing her time between unique artistic pieces, limited editions for chefs or collaboration with artists, and homeware designs, Cécile collaborates with artisans who bring her colorful tableware visions to life, adding elegance to daily rituals. Her designs draw from the textures and colors of her childhood landscapes and the vibrant surroundings of Lisbon, embodying her love for organic simplicity to bring joy and harmony into the home.
Growing up in her family’s workshop, Cécile’s early fascination with craftsmanship blossomed into a lifelong love for handmade beauty. Through formal studies in fine arts and ceramics and hands-on residencies, she became deeply connected to the elements and traditions of ceramics. For her, the creative process is a journey of freedom and discovery, creating functional art intended for daily use.
Through each design, Cécile invites people into a world that celebrates beauty in simplicity. Her Lisbon studio reflects her passion for color, form, and texture, resulting in work resonating with the values of slow living and mindful creation.
