Meet Lola Mayeras, Ceramic Artist, France

Firstly, what is your name?

Lola Mayeras

Where are you from?

I grew up in a picturesque Provençal village nestled in the hills of southern France, surrounded by vineyards and nature.

Where are you usually based?  

Although my work splits my time between Paris and the South of France, I would say that my social and personal life is mostly based in Paris. I’ve been living there for about 11 years now and I love the energy of the city, the vibrant arts scene, the live music, there’s always something interesting going on. 

The atelier where I work however is in a small village in the south of France where I come from. So depending on my production schedule I can be in either of those locations for multiple weeks on end. 

Describe your brand in three words or less.

South of France, pop art, 60s

What is your best tip for decorating your home?

When it comes to decorating your home, my best tip is to scour flea markets and online resale sites for unique, vintage pieces that you can repurpose and incorporate into your decor. One of my favorite finds is an old Singer sewing machine cabinet, which can be turned into a stunning sideboard.

What is one thing you like to do when hosting a dinner party? 

One thing I love to do when I host a dinner party is to think about the decoration of the table. I believe that the right decor can really set the tone for the evening, and create a warm and inviting atmosphere for the guests.

What is one tradition you have when hosting people?

One tradition my boyfriend and I have when we host people at home is to play some music from his vinyl selection.
