Astier de Villatte is a 15 year old French "lifestyle powerhouse" founded by Benoît Astier de Villatte and Ivan Pericoli. Their unique take on ceramics, paper goods, perfumes, candles, furniture, silverware, glassware and more are all created in a Bastille workshop that used to house Napolean's silversmith.
They are perhaps best known for their 18th- and 19th-century inspired handmade ceramics, many of which are designed with the equally multi-talented French artist Nathalie Lete. Their team of twenty ceramicists (perhaps the biggest in Paris) makes pottery the way Benoît's father taught him and his siblings. Starting with black Terracotta each piece is finished with a milky glaze that amplifies the unique character of the clay, celebrating its imperfections and ensuring that no two pieces are exactly alike. LOVE!
