PFESTORF HANNA
Maison Héliora
Provence, FRANCE
"The Héliora Scarab, a true Talisman."
Hanna, German, Artist, Designer and Art Director. In love with creation, detail, nature and sharing, after 10 years of living in Paris, her passion brought her to the South of France. Living close to nature, she found a real affinity in her creations. The design is animated by the values of the earth, the dynamism of the sea and the simplicity of a whole.
Since a trip to Egypt, Hanna is fascinated by their mythology where the scarab is a symbol of inner strength. She felt immersed in a magical aura as she experienced the symbiosis of her childhood with her grandmother when she told her about the power of talismans. Wearing something particularly unique, feeling deeply and invincibly connected.
With a deep desire to immortalize her own story in porcelain, the designer created her own world of Scarabs. A place where material embraces the fusion of detail and bespoke. That of the Scarabs of Héliora. The story of a lucky charm, a veritable talisman. A unique jewel as a powerful symbol, telling its own unique story.
The art of porcelain. Leaving an imprint, a personal touch behind, through porcelain as a symbol of femininity, peace and purity.
With her Scarab creations and the world of Héliora, it's precisely this story, her personal story, that she wants to pass on to you. This magical feeling of protection, love and strength that has accompanied her since childhood.
The Héliora Scarabs are a reminder that dreams are worth pursuing, and that sustainability is the path to a better world. The designer's wish today is that her Scarabs be yours, and that they will be true Talismans, good luck charms for you throughout your life.

Like the creation of a brand identity, the Héliora Scarab is a custom-made work, an exceptional piece of high quality.
The designer wanted to give an idea of character and privacy to the brand in order to create something intimate, inspired by the place, the raw material and the values she is committed to.
