Discovered standing tall in a warehouse hidden in Avignon, these stool with their striking pentagon shape carry the daring, unconventional spirit of 1950s design. The angular form gives them an unapologetic attitude, while their quirky silhouette keeps them approachable. You can imagine them standing tall in a sleek, minimalist space, or adding a modern touch to an eclectic setup. Built to make a statement, these stools embody the boldness of mid-century design, blending form and function with a dash of personality.

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.
