Parler Seul - Joan Miró

Making the work of Joan Miró accessible in unexpected ways – this was what prompted Successió Miró to approach the French porcelain manufacturer Bernardaud. The intense and highly demanding partnership that ensued gave rise to this table service taken from the book Parler Seul. Its 100 pieces use the precision of porcelain to express the painter’s extraordinary freedom, and invite us to partake of an undeniably joyous meal.

“My grandfather adored ceramics”, says Joan Punyet Miró. These words were invaluable for Bernardaud and formed the invisible thread that would guide the research undertaken in Successió Miró archives and Fundació Joan Miró in Barcelona. The aim behind this research was to find original documentation that could be transposed to porcelain without misrepresenting it.
