Ioulia Chante (b. 1991) is a Greek architect and ceramicist based in Malta and the founder of Babau Ceramics. Her multidisciplinary background informs a practice rooted in material exploration, craftsmanship, and emotional storytelling. Influenced by architecture, structure, and scenography, her work moves between simple forms and intricate miniature sculptures, often combined to create intimate domestic objects and artistic pieces that reflect on the human condition and contemporary societal pathologies, drawing inspiration from the Mediterranean heritage.

Ioulia holds a Master of Architecture from Democritus University of Thrace, Greece (2017), and has worked as a design assistant and maker during her studies. In 2018, she relocated to Malta, where her experience in the construction sector deepened her interest in material practicality, local craftsmanship, and built heritage.
