Mattina Moderna began in 2020 as a hobby. After the lockdowns, Clémentine Poncin and her mother went looking for vintage lamps and objects on the French Riviera, their home region. The response from their followers led to custom lampshades in deadstock fabric, made with a local artisan to fit the lamps they had found.
In spring 2022 the studio launched its own table lamps. Ceramics were the natural choice, Clémentine says, because they were already in so many of the pieces they had been finding. Each piece is first built as a 3D model and then made by hand, in small quantities and mostly to order; custom pieces are possible.
“Today, Mattina Moderna continues to explore the relationship between colour, material and memory,” says Clémentine, “creating playful yet familiar objects that bring together traditional craftsmanship, unexpected textile combinations and a distinctly contemporary sensibility.”
On spazio: the lamps 'Caterina', 'Giro', 'Ombrellina' and 'La Petite Boîte', and 'Marcello', the studio's first piece of furniture, a stool or side table.
