In 1996 Benoit Astier de Villatte and Ivan Pericoli opened a store on the ultra-chic Rue Saint Honore. They originally started out making furniture and decided to create a collection of ceramics that would enhance their tables. Little did they know that what was supposed to be a sideline would soon become an internationally sought after cult brand.
Astier de Villatte ceramics are entirely handmade in Paris. The collection is inspired by 18th and 19th century dinner services unearthed at the Paris flea markets.
Made of black terracotta clay glazed to create a milky white finish, the pieces are extremely durable yet surprisingly light to the touch making them perfect for everyday use. Each piece has slight irregularities which makes the brand unique.
