I'm home

Benoîr Astier de Villatte and Ivan Pericoli, the owner and main designer of a French interior shop ASTIER de VILLATTE visited Japan and presented their new collection at their familiar interior shop H.P. DECO in Omotesando. The two always designed naturally and designed what they themselves wanted from the establishment of ASTIER de VILLATTE in 1996. The boutique at 173 Santenore, PARIS, which opened in year 2000, helped make the brand into one of the leading interior brands in France, and still attracts focus from around the world. The two, who often collaborate with various artists, collaborated with their friend artist John Derian, who decoupages old illustrations on glass and presented a new ceramic collection. The two wanted and tried to create art with color, but were not able to create what they wanted. With their collaboration with John Derian, however, they were able to create a marble motif series along with the birds and insect motif series. Both added colorful variations to the white world of ASTIER de VILLATTE and hinted at other possibilities for the future. Astier de Villatte and Pericoli were always pleasant during the interview. The products hand-made in the PARIS atelier was done without compromise, and creates a strong presence like an object, yet gives a warm and rustic feel. It is as if their pleasant character can be felt from their products.
