Alè is a Los Angeles-based ceramic studio co-founded by Alex and Eminè Smolowe, partners in life, who bring their unique blend of creativity and craftsmanship to each piece. Alex, who has been passionate about all things creative since childhood, meticulously crafts Alè Ceramics' distinctive designs and wheel-thrown pieces. Drawing on her background in architecture, Eminè specializes in hand-built pieces and shapes the studio's branding and operations, infusing each creation with a cohesive vision. Together, they embrace a holistic approach to design, ensuring every detail contributes to a harmonious whole.

Each piece from Alè is crafted to evoke the essence of wabi-sabi—an ethos that celebrates imperfection and the inherent beauty of natural processes. Whether it's a vessel characterized by its unique form, a tactile finish, or a whimsical crack that adds to the story, each creation embodies this philosophy. These bespoke elements define Alè Ceramics' exceptional pieces, designed to be cherished forever.
