SOPHIE DRIES
The Traces Vases by Sophie Dries are ceramic pieces created with French potters Thomas Vivant and Felix Galland. The collection plays on raw materials in contrast with precious treatments of the materials. The title Traces takes its name from the idea of scars in ceramics , incisions that the master potter makes with a knife, before firing the stoneware .

Architect and designer Sophie Dries founded her Paris studio in 2014, later expanding to Milan. A graduate of ENSA Paris-Malaquais and Aalto University, with additional training in Contemporary Art at L’École du Louvre, she honed her craft with Jean Nouvel, Pierre Yovanovitch, and Christian Liaigre before establishing her own practice.
Her work spans architecture, collectible design, and ceramics, with pieces presented at Salone del Mobile, PAD London, The Salon Art + Design New York, and exhibited by Nilufar (Milan), Giustini /Stagetti (Rome), and L’Eclaireur (Paris & LA).
Dries approaches each project through the Genius Loci—the spirit of place—merging heritage, craftsmanship, and contemporary sensibility. Influenced by the Enlightenment and Arte Povera, her aesthetic unites natural materials, artisanal expertise, and refined modernity.
Named among AD’s Top 100 Designers (2022) and featured in Phaidon’s World’s Best Interior Designers, Sophie Dries continues to shape private residences, boutiques, and cultural spaces from her studios in Paris and Milan.
