A free-spirited creator, Ferréol Babin rejects labels. Both a designer, sculptor, craftsman, and artist, he has spent years deconstructing the smooth representations of our everyday objects to explore the endless possibilities of materials.
"Why stop an object at its primary function when you can infuse it with so much more?"
Directly derived from the earth, just like fruits and vegetables, Yli invites, through its rugged textures and organic shapes, to taste and honor the virtues of a nurturing nature to which humanity is closely and inexorably connected.
The Yli collection knows how to remain silent, allowing the ingredient and the chef’s creation to take center stage.
Deeply respectful of craftsmanship, the Revol manufactory presents itself in a new light with Yli. Reconnecting with the earth and history, porcelain fully reveals its raw, dynamic, and primal character.
PPrecious, the grooves, ridges, and other delicate roughnesses or intentional imbalances are all testimonies to the vitality of the material. They also presuppose the craftsmanship of a goldsmith and a process that is long, slow, patient, and meticulous.
