When a European ceramicist explores Madagascar
Born from a creative exchange during a trip to Madagascar in May 2023, the Mora Mora Collection is a tactile dialogue between ceramics and raffia, artistry and community. Named after the Malagasy expression for “slowly, slowly,” the collaboration sees sculptural clay vessels by contemporary ceramicist Clandestine Ceramique paired with raffia lampshades handwoven by Made For a Woman’s artisans. Each piece is a fusion of texture, tradition, and intention—anchored in slowness, cultural exchange, and craft. It’s a luminous example of how contemporary design can honour heritage and build bridges across continents.
About Clandestine Céramique
Clandestine Céramique is a Galicia-based studio of a ceramicist whose work radiates a raw, organic elegance. Her pieces are hand-built, often sculptural, and always deeply tactile—embracing imperfection through earthy textures, primitive shapes, and slow, intentional methods. Each object feels like a quiet protest against mass production—intimate, grounded, and emotionally resonant.
About Made For a Woman
Based in Madagascar and founded by Eileen Akbaraly, Made For a Woman is a pioneering social enterprise that empowers vulnerable women through traditional raffia craftsmanship. With a bright, design-forward aesthetic and deep ethical roots, the brand has become a global force—collaborating with luxury houses like Chloé, Fendi, and Armani, and earning awards such as the Better World Fund’s “Best Commitment” and Unity Peace Award at Cannes. Their work, often featured at fashion weeks and sustainability forums, is as much about storytelling and dignity as it is about style.
Whether you’re drawn to the sculptural forms, the story behind the hands that made them, or the quiet philosophy of mora mora itself, this collection is a chance to bring meaningful design into your space. Each piece is limited, crafted with intention, and supports ethical, women-led production in Madagascar.
