“CERAMIC IS A MATERIAL THAT FOSTER RESILIENCE AND HUMILITY »
Faty Ly is a ceramic designer of the eponymous brand Fatyly.
Eager to share her culture with the rest of the world, she started what would become a passion for ceramics in the late 90s in Bobo Dioulasso (Burkina Faso) assisting a Burkinabe potter and discovers a craft technique that immediately fascinates her. She gradually learns to sift the clay, to model, to create the finishes or to participate in the cooking of the pieces.
In 2005, she joined Central Saint-Martins, one of the most prestigious schools of Art and Design in the world. She discovered industrial ceramics.
Combining art and craftsmanship, transforming the material to ennoble it and giving birth to both utilitarian and decorative pieces, this has become his credo! As a result the designer brings to life objects that connect people and also enhance their daily and festive experiences.
Attracted by period portraits, she draws and in turn pays homage to the Senegalese woman through a first collection of plates.
Her mission: to tell the story of her culture through its products, while unveiling the image of a contemporary Africa.
- Her wish: to create authentic products that tell a traceable story and reflect a know-how.
- Her next step: incorporate technology into his approach.
Her creations are today distributed in concept stores and boutique hotels: from New York to Lagos, by way of Rome, Dakar or Abidjan… and ILAB-Design in Geneva!
She currently lives and works in Dakar.
The Fatyly brand contributes not only to preserve African cultures as a heritage that is passed down from one generation to another but also to ground a collective memory with authentic pieces that would be remembered as collectibles for years and years to come.
