Notes from Sylvie:

Each stool has a different level of wear, some are more worn than others, but they are all beautiful in their own ways.

Discovered walking through a brocante in Avignon, these stools design speaks to the Brutalist movement's philosophy of stripping things down to their core. These stools weren’t made to be showpieces; they were crafted for function, but in doing so, they became pieces of art in their own right. The worn wood, chipped finish, and solid construction carry the essence of the past, inviting you to imagine the hands that built them and the lives they’ve touched along the way.

Avignon, a city steeped in history and has long been a jewel of Provence. Known as the seat of the Papacy during the 14th century, Avignon became a center of power and culture, leaving behind a legacy of stunning architecture, art, and craftsmanship. The city’s rich history is palpable in every stone of its ancient streets, where the past and present blend seamlessly.

The surrounding countryside, with its rolling vineyards, lavender fields, and quaint villages, has been a source of inspiration for artists and artisans alike. It is here, amidst the serene beauty of Provence, that our latest collection was unearthed.

From intricately carved stools to delicately crafted ceramics, each piece in this collection reflects the artistry and tradition of Avignon and its surroundings. Whether it’s a piece discovered in a centuries-old farmhouse or a find from a grand Provençal brocante, these items carry with them the spirit of Avignon.
