    This piece is in very good shape, but has minor wear on the rush and a slight wobble front to back.

In the heart of Provence, a forgotten warehouse sat untouched, holding secrets of lost design history. We stumbled upon a set of rush chairs that bore the unmistakable influence of Charlotte Perriand’s philosophy. The frames, sharp and minimal, were made from smooth wood—a subtle nod to her love for natural materials. The rush seats, carefully woven in intricate, geometric patterns, combined raw texture with clean, modern lines. The chairs sit low and wide, inviting in their comfort, while the wood, with its simple lines, brings a timeless, minimalist elegance. These chairs offer both function and artistic flair, allowing them to adapt to various spaces while serving as timeless, versatile piece

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.
