Mutual Core marks a shift — not just in what we make, but in how our journey comes full circle.

Before we started working with clay, our backgrounds were in the creative industries. Benedicte worked in music production. Jerome was an art director. We spent years shaping campaigns and content for high-end brands — immersed in fast-paced, high-expectation environments.

And always, there was music.

Playing in the background while we worked, setting tempo and tone. It was a constant — a kind of invisible architecture to our days.

Over time, we felt the need to create more directly. To move from supporting other people’s visions to building our own. We were drawn to the physicality of materials, to the slowness of craft, to making things that felt grounded and lasting. Ceramics became the way in.

We started L’Impatience to explore that shift — to shape objects that carry presence, intention, and care. Over the years, the studio became a space of deep listening in a different sense — to material, to process, to silence.

Now, with Mutual Core, sound returns. This time, through form. These sculptural speakers bring together everything we’ve been circling around: the tactile, the functional, the emotional — and the resonant.

This is just the beginning.

Thank you for being here — for supporting us in this early moment, and for helping us shape what comes next. We truly couldn’t do it without you.
