The White Lady

Large limited edition candle holder, designed by Sigolène Prébois for the 100th anniversary of the Virebent porcelain factory.

" If there is one dinner service to note in the 20th century, it is the Affamée & Assoiffée range designed by Catherine Lévy and Sigolène Prébois, aka Tsé & Tsé associées. Their concept of using the whimsical nature of porcelain and taking advantage of it radically changed the approach of manufacturers," emphasizes Vincent Collin. "In porcelain, we can say that there is a before and after Tsé & Tsé."

The tribute is so vibrant that the White Lady blushes! It must be said that Vincent Collin knows what he is talking about: he is one of the directors of the Virebent company, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary in Occitanie today.

In the late 1990s, Frédérique Caillet and Vincent Collin took over the Manufacture de céramique, with which the very young designers of Tsé & Tsé were already working. It was innovation and audacity that revived the company, of which Tsé & Tsé associés remains a loyal supporter.

With this historical connection and professional esteem, Vincent Collin gave Sigolène Prébois free rein to celebrate the centenary of the Manufacture and to pay tribute to Catherine Lévy, her missing accomplice. The White Lady was born and this large sculptural candlestick celebrates shared friendships.
