Elisa Uberti

Elisa Uberti is a French ceramist and designer working from La Teinturerie, her atelier in Roubaix. After fifteen years in the fashion industry, she turned to stoneware in 2018, drawn to a material whose primitive texture and slow making process stood at the opposite end of fashion's pace.

Her practice is built around the coiling technique: clay hand-rolled into long cords, stacked and formed without a wheel, without moulds, and with minimal tools. The resulting lamps, sculptures, and furniture pieces are sculptural and organic, their surfaces marked by the trace of each hand gesture. Uberti works mainly with raw or minimally glazed stoneware, preserving the material's rough, geological character. Her main references include the organic architecture of the 1970s, the painter and sculptor André Borderie, and the panoramic view from the bridges of Florence, where built structure and natural landscape converge.

The Jeanne, Billie, and Zénith lamp collections are her best-known work. Standing forms with enveloping volumes, they read as small architectures, each intended as a kind of refuge. Uberti has exhibited at Alcova during Milan Design Week (2022 and 2023), at PAD Paris with Galerie Scène Ouverte, at Design Miami 2023, and at Galerie Philia's Walker Tower space in New York in 2021.

Her stoneware lamps and sculptures are available on Monde Singulier, each piece handmade in her Roubaix atelier.
