EMMANUELLE SIMON
Emmanuelle Simon
Born France, 1988
A French-Israeli architect and designer, Simon composes immaculately curated, resolutely modernist pieces that reflect her heightened sense of refinement, keen eye for detail, and passion for craftsmanship. Drawing on Art Deco style and Wabi-Sabi philosophy, she exposes the raw beauty of materials with her precise, sophisticated, and simple designs. With a singularly detail-oriented aesthetic, Simon uses space and light to mold volumes and highlight textures with a poetic economy of design
A graduate of École Camondo, Simon worked with Pierre Yovanovitch before founding her own studio in 2017, winning the Prix Special du Public at Design Parade that same year. In 2019, she was named as one of the “100 Designers of the Year” by Architectural Digest

Raku Yaki Demi-Lune Sconce
Honoring the Wabi-Sabi aesthetic tradition that finds beauty in imperfection and impermanence, Emmanuelle Simon’s Raku Yaki collection brings a serene contemporary sensibility to the ancient Japanese ceramic technique of Raku. Dating back over four hundred years, the unusual Raku process subjects ceramic to extreme stress with high heat and rapid cooling to create dramatic and singular surface variations of the glaze
This gorgeous bifurcated spherical sconce is a masterful study in simplicity as the ultimate luxury: materials of elegance, history, and texture require discretion rather than excess. The crackled finish of the ceramic serves as a stunning counterpoint to the sconce’s simple half circular form, while the patinated pitted brass mount creates a conversation between materials whose beauty is derived from their imperfections
A contemporary wall sculpture, the Demi-Lune Sconce ingeniously shapes light and creates a dialogue between object, texture, and space. Aptly named, the ceramic’s gentle sheen against the brass’s earthy matte recalls the romantic splendor of a half-moon. It invites us to reflect on our place in the cosmos and on the very nature of darkness and light. With a simple elegance and enduring textural story, the Demi-Lune Sconce, like the moon itself, is a stunning accent to any space
