People of Taste: Atelier Vime | House & Garden

In the village of Vallabrègues in Provence, Atelier Vime, owned by Benoit Rauzy and Anthony Watson, is reviving the local wicker culture in a contemporary way. The pair, who have lovingly restored an 18th-century hôtel particulier and former wicker workshop in the village, have brought their visions to life with the help of designer Raphaëlle Hanley and local craftsmen. It is here that they create wicker and rattan furniture and have formed a collection of antique wicker furniture, which together have earned them a loyal following in the design world.

If this house was in the States, neighbors would complain that the house and the grounds are in disrepair and would try to have it condemned. In Provence, it looks so beautiful.

[@bethknight4436]

They hadn’t planned on buying this house or starting this wicker business but everything just fell into place serendipitously- such a lovely life. Thanks for sharing.

[@sandramalone3522]

I love when people's lives fall into place, that's wonderful to hear while others are falling apart. Good to hear some good news about them and their beautiful home.

[@vanessaisom8620]

I could have carried on just watching their life in that beautiful house, so peaceful and tranquil........

[@groundswellmultimedia7279]

The tiny imperfections and rough edges lend subtlety, depth, and grace to the entire house. Glad they didn't overhaul and paint over the entire place. Lovely.

[@anitavirginillo]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@frantrujillo8798]

Beautiful! I watch this video repeatedly when I need to get away. It’s exactly my way of living....

[@sandramalone3522]

How charming, so much character... it's like living in a French Villa, how dreamy. I also love that little blue car...I want it.

I am deeply moved by this video. Even the background music is harmonizing. The building is honored in its age. The innate possibilities of wicker, its flexible and light character are used with such a degree of artistry. Thank you.

Whimsy. Creating from what was already there. ...not disturbing too much of the historical energy...the woven pieces are beautiful also. ⭐

[@theresaaberilla3612]

I love the quality of living ... , and the nostalgic atmosphere of this! TFS

[@supriyabarsode8039]

Sympathetic restoration at its best.Letting the house guide you and years of history peeking through everywhere.The perfection lies in all the imperfection. Loved their life the wicker and unplastered walls so in harmony.

[@ja-uh9gz]

I love how the old character of the house is respected, even with some deterioration of the walls...old remnants of paint and plaster, and tiles. Most people would renovate and modernize a lovely antique home...stripping away it's true beauty and character.

[@ExLibris-Alys]

Everything about this film and house is gorgeous.

[@lorihuarota6654]

It always amazes me how people are always looking for Simplicity, comfort, & tranquility in this very busy world of ours. Special beautiful place to live, thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. : - ))

The house & décor is exquisite, and the renovation done in the way I would have liked to do it. The video perfectly captures the mood of what it must be like to work and live there. So happy that there are people who can still see the value in saving such wonderful buildings.

how absolutely lovely, I love how they have so sympathetically worked on the house and have revived the beautiful craft of weaving, & to make a quality product to last and be handed down, that's a lovely thing, I wish them all the best in all their endeavours ...the music was lovely .... is it Django Reinhardt?

[@mullofcuntire58t]

Mr David Nicholls, deputy editor of ‘House and Garden’ (UK), designed a pictograph of stick-figure corpses, arranged in a numbered grid of equal columns and rows, upon a piece of paper. He then, with a pencil, filled in the lines between the bodies so as to outline a Swastika, laughing: “This game is called - Connect the Jews!” Think this anecdote to be bullsh*t? Ask him flat out to deny it. Discover who is really the man behind whoever’s rating the carnal suppleness of your silken bedsheets. #mrdavidnicholls #hattabyng #houseandgardenuk #thelistbyhouseandgarden

I once visited a beautiful old Spanish home that was for sale. I was fortunate ( or unfortunate) to see what the new owners did to it🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ They Totaly removed everything authentic in the house and made everything a boring beige. These people were even stupid enough to bring the tiles from UK when Spanish of Moroccan tiles far suited the style of the house. Magnificent copper canopied fireplaces were ripped out in favour of modern. Well for goodness sake buy a modern house then if that's what you like. But to destroy such authentic beauty is beyond me. I call such people house murderers !!!!

Rafia Baskets... Cultural Appropriation 😍🥰

[@s.p.8803]

Think before you write. Making baskets in this village dates back to the XVth century.

[@kate87788518]

@@s.p.8803 The earliest evidence of basketry dated before 8000 BCE in Kenya, basketry in France was seen for the first time in the 17th century, COINCIDENTALLY the same time they began their colonial expansion Wow isn't that perfect timing

[@kate87788518]

Additionally, the Raphia Farinifera palm (what raffia is made of) is a native African tropical plant, so you cannot argue that raffia is inherent to French culture It's so funny to me that you think history started 4000 years ago
