MALLES FOR VICODE

Sejnane pottery handcrafted by Tunisian artisans, shaped by earth, fire, and ancestral gestures.

Sejnane Pottery: Material, Gesture, and Memory

The Malles x Vicode collection tells the story of the ceramic art of Sejnane,

passed down by the women of the Tunisian territory. Each piece is hand-shaped, smoothed with shells, and fired over an open flame,

resulting in unrepeatable forms, surfaces with a distinctive metallic black finish, and imperfections that become an authentic testament to the artisan's touch.

THE CREATIVE PROCESS

THE ANCESTRAL GESTURE

Every form comes from the hands, without mediation. A direct contact with the material that preserves the value of the handed-down gesture.

THE BAPTISM OF FIRE

Firing at high temperatures transforms the clay and gives each piece unique nuances, markings, and strength.
