While wandering the quiet farming villages on the outside of Villeneuve, we stumbled upon a stack of these five beautiful cutting boards, each with its own unique character. The knife scars and wear marks hint at generations of meals lovingly prepared, from hearty stews to rustic bread baked fresh in a farmhouse oven. Each board carries the stories of those kitchens, where food was not only sustenance but a gathering point for family and friends.

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.
