A graduate of the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs de Paris, Kalou Dubus has developed a unique body of work over the past 20 years. Originally from the pottery region of Puisaye in Burgundy, she rediscovered ceramics in 2015, a practice familiar to her since childhood. In a personal and artistic return to her roots, she began exploring the possibilities of this medium and its modernist counterpart, concrete, in her studio. Quickly, she began creating, exhibiting, and selling her first pieces.
Kalou breaks down barriers with great freedom, inventing not only objects and furniture (vases, lamps, tables) but also unique, sometimes monumental sculptural pieces. She collaborates with architects, decorators, and major fashion names to create custom works.
Since 2019, Kalou Dubus has been represented by Galerie Desprez-Brehéret, specialists in historical design from the second half of the 20th century and agents of contemporary artists. Together, they conceive and develop furniture projects. "Delos" was her first solo exhibition with the gallery in December 2022. Since then, her works have been regularly featured at events such as PAD or Paris Design Miami.
