The Nests
The combination of their expertise and their approach to the artisanal craftsmanship of creating a piece in stoneware or chocolate has given rise to a collection of Easter egg cups, truly functional and decorative objects: it's time to get cracking!
Tableware & Delicacies
Just as the Maison freely shapes the cocoa beans it sources to make its own traditional Easter chocolate eggs, Marion Graux lets her talent run free to express her passion for tableware and everyday objects—those we live with and grow attached to. She cultivates a taste for beauty, an unfeigned love of delicious treats, and the joy of bringing family and friends together under her wing, to keep a close eye on them… The idea was naturally born.
For À la Mère de Famille, I wanted to give shape to a story—that of a nest where one comes to snuggle, which almost reminds me of skin-to-skin contact. Material against material: hand-shaped clay and chocolate with particularly appetizing reflections. The eggs naturally nestle into this cocoon and allow themselves to be enveloped. Because once it came out of its shell, I simplified the idea, refining it to the point where it became an egg cup in all its function and practicality.

Marion Graux
Marion's creations are primarily intended for the table. She makes tableware for chefs. For her, the functionality of her pieces has a true nobility. She was trained by two mentors. Augusto Tozzola, who taught her humility. For one year she turned 7 hours a day without firing a single piece. Then by Dauphine Scalbert, who taught her enamels and the rigorous discipline of the workshop. Marion Graux dedicates her life to this craft with obvious pleasure. For her, it is a commitment of body and mind. Above all, she seeks perfection. Every shape is carefully considered, and color is worked as a material.
She seeks to express the essential. No superfluous gestures. The way a piece is made gives it its meaning. If every gesture is just, then the object will create an emotion.
