We found this refined beauty in Avignon, and it instantly felt like the sophisticated older sibling of the classic French tripod stool. This one, though, is a little more polished—literally. With its shiny lacquer finish and decoratively turned legs, you can almost imagine it strolling through the halls of some vintage Parisian college, books in hand and nails freshly done. It’s the stool that always stands just a little taller, not because it has to, but because it enjoys the spotlight.

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.
