i. Biography
Myriam Calvo’s ceramics at Chez Wam move between home tableware, highly customized restaurant pieces, and decorative homeware. The work is built around touch: surfaces that ask to be handled, forms that stay measured without feeling rigid. Across those uses, the practice stays legible as object-making for service and daily life, with enough control to hold a room and enough looseness to keep the piece alive.
The Climb
Myriam Calvo’s path reads as a practice of refinement across disciplines, with ceramics and illustration set alongside one another in her work at Myriam Calvo primary operation. In ceramic terms, that breadth shows up in the ability to move from utility to expression without breaking the line of the work. The same hand that makes home tableware can also answer the demands of restaurant pieces or decorative homeware. At Chez Wam, Calvo’s ceramics sit inside a defined venue, but the work is not dependent on setting: it is grounded in material, attentive to surface, and built with a steady sense of what an object needs to do.
Today
At Chez Wam, Myriam Calvo works in ceramics, and the medium gives her room to work across practical and ornamental registers. That range matters. Ceramics allows for repeatable service pieces, one-off items, and decorative forms, all within the same material discipline. In her hands, the result is not generic versatility but a controlled shift between uses, where a tabletop object and a room-facing piece can share the same structural clarity. The work’s value sits in that balance: functional enough to serve, resolved enough to carry presence.
