Introducing 'pépite edits' - bespoke collections of contemporary objects, designed by pépite, artist-made and exclusively available at pépite.
For our very first collection, we collaborated with Melbourne-based artist Lucile Sciallano (of Alterfact and La Petite Fabrique de Brunswick) - together we brought to life an ode to the perfect ‘cone’. A simple form, yet so elegant and striking when all the angles and proportions are just right.
This first series focuses on the same form in three different sizes and two different finishes - ’Textured White’ and ‘Vanilla Bean’. Each vessel features its very own variations in form, glaze and texture with no two pieces ever the same. These vessels look beautiful displayed on their own but are also functional as they are watertight and food safe so they can become part of your home’s rituals.

KIRA EDWARDS is a contemporary jeweller, utilising traditional techniques to make organic sculptural pieces. Her work is an ode to the making process, embracing the imperfections and beauty that arise along the way. Exploring texture, sculpture and mixed metals, her work aims to capture a natural ease.
Wearability is at the heart of her work. With conscious consumerism in mind, her work is made to be worn often and travel through life with the wearer, with the hope the pieces will be passed down generations.
Kira’s practice focuses on sustainability, using recycled materials where possible and making small quantities. Her work is made with love and consideration from her home studio in Naarm / Melbourne alongside her tiny bossy dog Pepper.

DEBBEY WATSON is a Sydney based ceramic artist working predominantly with slab-built geometric forms that are informed by her background in graphic design and interest in modern architecture.

ALTERFACT is an experimental design studio created by Lucile Sciallano and Ben Landau in 2014. Since graduating from Design Academy Eindhoven in 2013, Lucile and Ben have worked in tandem on various projects in different mediums. Their collaboration has culminated in the creation of Alterfact Studio, a platform through which to conduct critical research with materials and data translated through the manufacture of ‘stuff’.
Alterfact’s practice is currently focused on the use of 3D printing in clay as a small batch manufacturing process. They push the boundaries of this traditionally plastic-based medium, and play with its connotations of utilitarianism and gimmickry, as it moves into a feasible reality.

STUDIO MULDERS is a Perth based creative project of Annemieke who worked across the world as a scientist before becoming a ceramic artist in 2014. Her work explores the intersection of order, chaos, function, asymmetry and beauty.
She uses discarded vessels that are changed by cutting, rearranging or breaking part of its surface. This process of destruction and building up creates a form that is simultaneously fragile, robust, complex and simple. This inherent contrariness demands questioning and defies simple categorisation.

LA PETITE FABRIQUE DE BRUNSWICK is a Melbourne based ceramic studio created by artist Lucile in 2014. Lucile was born in the south of France and now works from her garden shed in Brunswick.
Slip cast techniques are used to create functional and sculptural bowls, cups and teapots that begin with a prototype used to make a mould to cast the iterations of each shape. Using pigments to colour the porcelain, Lucile applies patterns by hand to make each piece unique.
