We discovered this stunning armchair tucked away in a back-alley antique shop, sourced from a collector who roams France in search of midcentury treasures. The oak frame, solid and low-slung, is complemented by the rich mustard mohair velvet, creating a perfect blend of comfort and bold style. We like to image it was found in the living room of a Parisian apartment, where its low seat height made it ideal enjoying a quiet moment as sunlight streamed through tall windows.

Marseille, the vibrant port city of the Mediterranean, is a place where history, culture, and tradition collide. Founded over 2,600 years ago, Marseille is one of France’s oldest cities, with a rich tapestry woven from its diverse influences—Greek, Roman, and beyond. The city’s bustling markets, colorful neighborhoods, and sun-soaked coastline have long been a melting pot of ideas, artistry, and craftsmanship.

The surrounding Provençal landscapes, with their olive groves, terracotta rooftops, and rugged coastline, offer a glimpse into the soul of Southern France. It’s here, in and around Marseille, that we uncovered our latest collection of antiques—pieces that speak to the city’s maritime spirit and eclectic soul.

Sylvie rummaged through dusty, forgotten warehouses, met with third generation antique dealers and found herself wandering through vibrant seaside markets to curate this collection.
