Astier De Villatte

Astier de Villatte is a Paris home house founded in 1996 by Benoît Astier de Villatte, Mathilde Carron-Astier de Villatte and Ivan Pericoli. The founders met through the École des Beaux-Arts milieu and built the line around hand-finished ceramics inspired by objects from the past. The collection still treats a butter dish, vase or incense holder as a small piece of domestic archaeology.

JIA JIA Home

JIA JIA Home makes small domestic objects from richly veined stone and crystal, with jewelry boxes, bowls, trays and game sets forming the core of this selection. The brand’s own account describes a Chinese sense of home and family as part of its starting point, while the objects themselves lean into geological pattern. It is a collection for people who like their useful things to carry a little ceremony.
