Notes from Sylvie:

Each Lorraine Chair is hand selected by Sylvie and may differ from exact back shape and patina displayed in images. Rest assured, we only select our favorites.

Hailing from the heart of France’s Lorraine region, this chair is a testament to the artistry of early 1900s craftsmanship. Each hand-carved detail tells a story, and the walnut wood, with its fine grain and sturdy feel, reflects the skilled hands that shaped it. The signature backrest design, characteristic of Lorraine artisans, makes every chair a one-of-a-kind creation. Passed down through generations, this chair has seen more than a century of life, with its patina bearing the marks of time and use.

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.
