ABOUT THE ARTIST
Memòri Studio is Charlotte Lapalus’ Plus One.
Founded in 2020, Memòri is a studio where different craft disciplines meet with the idea of constantly questioning practices and their transmission. It is an ode to remarkable traditions and to a craftsmanship anchored in a particular territory. The studio aims at reviving a collective memory, making memories vibrant again. On the borderline between the edition of objects in very small quantities and the creation of a wardrobe composed of unique, modular and unisex pieces, the exploration continues around the scenography and a selection of vintage objects and furniture. Memòri is a small-scale artisanal studio with the sole aim of integrating a sustainable approach to fabrication and production into its practice. memòri promotes Provençal textile typical savoir-faire such as quilting work like the « piqué », the « Boutis » or the « piqué de Marseille » as well as the ancestral savoir-faire of Moroccan craftswomen, specifically the ancient art of women's rural pottery from the Rif mountains, where pieces are fired at low temperatures in an open fire for more than 12 hours, and the art of weaving and vegetable dyes from the Anti-Atlas.
