  • Notes from Sylvie:

    Dear Collector, sometimes with live edge pieces there are cracks in the grain, but these pieces are in remarkable good shape.

We discovered this charming vintage stool tucked away in the back of a warehouse near Avignon, almost as if it was waiting to be found. Dating back to the 1950s, it was crafted from a solid slice of wood, showcasing beautiful tree rings and a natural live-edge top. What struck us most was how well it’s been preserved—despite its past life, the stool remains in remarkably good shape, a testament to its durability and craftsmanship. Now, it’s ready for a new chapter, bringing a touch of mid-century simplicity and warmth to a modern home.

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.
