A Fresh Ode to Quality Time and Togetherness
Designed to capture the essence of moments spent with loved ones, the Céramique Lab collection is a tribute to the timeless beauty of ceramics. Rooted in a love for substance, technique, and originality, the collection is an embodiment of Smallable's commitment to promoting artisans who bring soul into their creations.
In an age where fast consumerism reigns supreme, Smallable’s initiative is an ode to “Slow Life”. It's a celebration of artisanship that makes each piece in the collection unique. It's a conscious effort to shift the spotlight from quantity to quality.

While the collection brings together the exceptional talent of seven ceramists, let's delve deeper into the stories of three standout contributors:
Mariela Ceramica
Belgian-based artist, Mariela Torres crafts with a deep reverence for individuality and nature. Her creations, marked by vivid colors and natural shapes, reflect her Chilean and Belgian roots. More than just ceramic pieces, they are stories of her positive approach to design and her dual heritage.
Léa Baldassari
From the heart of Paris in the 11th arrondissement, Léa brings an instinctive approach to her work. Her stoneware pieces are raw, organic, and poetic. They bear testimony to her love for visibly handmade creations, each piece resonating with its unique character.
Beldy
Founded by Lucile Salamone and Hakim Ghachou in 2015, Beldy transcends mere ceramics. Drawing inspiration from Mediterranean culture, their diverse portfolio boasts handmade items made from materials ranging from ceramic to brass. Every creation tells a story, and every story is imbued with human emotions, imperfections, and poetic charm.
The other notable contributors to Céramique Lab include Cole & Cinder, Casa Cecu, Franca Atelier, and Rosi Mistou.
In the words of its founder, Cécile Roederer, Smallable was born out of a need. A need to provide parents with a one-stop destination for high-quality children's fashion and home furnishings. Over the years, the brand has grown, expanded its offerings, and cemented its position as a global leader. From baby care to women's fashion, home decor to teen fashion, Smallable offers a curated selection from over 750 global brands, each echoing the brand's commitment to quality, design, and responsible production.
At the core of Smallable's philosophy is an unyielding commitment to supporting designers who champion ethical manufacturing, environmentally-friendly processes, and limited local production. In doing so, Smallable has not only promoted quality over quantity but has also fostered a community of conscious consumers.
As Smallable embarks on its next chapter, the launch of the Céramique Lab collection is a fitting tribute to its roots, values, and vision. It's a celebration of the brand's commitment to quality, artisanship, and timeless design. And for those of us who appreciate the finer things in life, it's a reminder that beauty, craftsmanship, and authenticity are always in vogue.
