If you didn't already know...
Cathérine Lovatt was born in Ypres in 1966 and grew up in the North of France.
She studied ceramics at the Sint-Lucas Ghent Institute where she graduated in 1989.
Currently she works as a freelance ceramic artist (Designer) for different companies (as serax
Her specialties are porcelain vases and objects combined with other materials.

Catherine told me "The designs I have realized so far, are usually the result of experiments: 
I try, select and on the basis of those experiences I develop the design. 
These creations often leads to other new designs. Some designs are more abstract, 
but usually I make things that make sense.  The starting point for the series ' Family set ' 
are geometric shapes (Cone and cylinder). Simple and minimalistic. First, for me, 
 aesthetics have everything to do with the logic of the object, 
with how material, production and functionality fit together."
