    Description

    *Motion* is a sculptural wall light that explores the continuous, evolving movement of the earth. Inspired by geological transformation, shifting landscapes, and the slow forces that shape our environment over time.

    Hand-built in stoneware, each element is individually shaped and assembled, creating a composition of flowing layers that appear to move around a central axis. The surface emerges through a dialogue between clay and glaze, where the fluid behavior of the glaze responds to the contours of the form, accentuating its movement.

    When illuminated, *Motion* projects a soft glow upward and downward, emphasizing the sculptural depth of the piece.

    About Katia Langeard Visit Showroom →

    Katia Langeard is a designer and ceramic artist based in the South of France, where she creates sculptural lighting, collectible objects, and furniture that explore the dialogue between art, architecture, and material.Born in Soviet Union, she grew up in artistic environment shaped by her grandfather, architect and painter Oleg Goryachev. His fascination with sculpture, made an enormous impact on her understanding to form, craftsmanship, and the emotional power of objects.Under his guidance, she learned to draw, carve wood, and make objects by hand from an early age. The family homes were not usual Soviet housing, they were filled with grandfather’s creations - wooden sculptural furniture, mirrors, chandeliers, copper wall lights and handcrafted objects, transforming everyday life into a living artistic landscape. This experience profoundly influenced her sensitivity to form, craftsmanship, and the emotional power of objects.Although Katia discovered ceramics during childhood, she graduated from the best architectural school available in the former Soviet Union before her path first led her into the world of interior architecture. After moving to Europe in 2012, she worked in luxury interior design project management, collaborating on international projects involving designers such as Philippe Starck, Peter Marino, Brian McCarthy and Jean-Louis Deniot.The desire to create with her own hands, inherited from her grandfather, eventually brought her back to clay. Ceramics became a natural extension of her lifelong fascination with material and form, and today she considers it both her vocation and her life's mission.Since 2019, her teacher and mentor Stéphane Montalto, Meilleur Ouvrier de France (MOF) during 5 years has been opening to her ceramics again. She also studied ceramic mould-making at the École d'Art Céramique de Vallauris, France, and attended masterclasses with ceramic artists Gustavo Pérez and Kate Malone. In 2024, she completed an artistic residency in Vallauris.Her work inspired by themes of memory, migration, geological transformation and the landscape where she lives and works. Through clay, she seeks to create timeless objects that exist at the intersection of sculpture, design and architecture.
