Structures of Subtlety
L’Impatience is a design ceramic studio specializing in small-batch collections of sculptural objects, fine dinnerware and bespoke pieces. With a focus on material honesty and form, each piece is shaped by hand, revealing the quiet elegance of unglazed clay and the enduring simplicity of pure, minimal design.
Bridging artistry and function, L’Impatience offers a refined approach to ceramics—one that speaks to both modern interiors and timeless aesthetics.
Benedicte and Jerome Leclere
Founded by French-born artists Jerome and Benedicte Leclere, L’Impatience is the result of a deep and evolving exploration of form, texture, and materiality. With backgrounds in creative industries, they bring a nuanced sensibility to their work, balancing precision with imperfection. Drawn to the tactile immediacy of clay, they left behind structured careers for a practice defined by intuition, experimentation, and a reverence for raw materials. Today, L’Impatience reflects their shared pursuit of understated beauty, where ceramics become not just objects, but quiet gestures within a space.
