Tralalart is painting on porcelain
Marie Levêque acknowledges the fact of having allowed herself to be carried away by the events.
In 2004, this graduate of the Arts Décoratifs abandoned her career as a graphic designer in order to pursue her activity of painting on porcelain plates and opening up the Tralalart workshop-boutique, where she wanted "to lay on a first-rate meal without all the fuss". The Galeries Lafayette offered to allow her to set up her own corner stand where she could create the made-to-measure orders for a clientele which prefers personalized crockery. "I do not wish to be a prisoner of fashion trends which one grows quickly tired of and I shun all marketing approaches, by choosing to work only with personal favourites", insists the designer who favours a timeless and uncluttered approach so as to develop the customs of the art of entertaining and tableware. It is within her stand at the Galeries Lafayette that she meets Frédéric Bernardaud. The porcelain manufacturer appreciates her patterns on crockery and suggests she design the Prairie collection around the theme of the dandelion and the Jardin d’Orient (Oriental Garden) collection around the theme of the blossoming cherry tree. While waiting for a partnership which should be realizing itself soon, at thirty years of age, and who has already published her trade secrets in the book "Painting on porcelain" available from Eyrolles Publishing, she is now dreaming of developing a collection of bathroom tiles and designing a range of textiles that picks up on and re-uses the embroidered or printed patterns of the tableware collections.
