Set of 6 oval plates, Senufo pattern

Powerful geometric shapes, linked to agricultural and initiatory rites.

On each oval plate, a ring of eggplant and black bands, striated with small white lines and dotted with yellow and red, highlights the edge; the center remains white. This design is our tribute to the emblematic "Sénoufo" art.

▦ The history of the motif

Sénoufo art, from Côte d'Ivoire, Mali, and Burkina Faso, is renowned for its powerful geometric shapes, linked to agricultural and initiatory rites.

• Sénoufo (Côte d'Ivoire, Mali, Burkina Faso): a people renowned for their masks, statues, and textiles.

✨ What the motif tells

The symbolism of the Sénoufo motif is linked to agricultural and initiatory rites. Choosing this tableware is choosing a design that pays tribute to this art and these rites.

Our reinterpretation

The ring of eggplant and black bands, striated with small white lines and dotted with yellow and red, highlights the oval edge; the center remains white. This design brings the spirit of Sénoufo geometric shapes to porcelain. The six plates are decorated to order in our Alfortville workshop, with the motif prepared, applied and glazed by hand before firing, and presented in a 31 × 31 × 10 cm box.
