SUMMER IN PROVENCE
-
Summer in Provence arrives slowly. Market tables fill with tomatoes still warm from the vine, melons perfume the air, and linen dries in the afternoon sun. Lunch stretches into evening as shutters remain open, conversations linger, and the table becomes less a destination than a place returned to throughout the day. This collection gathers objects made for that rhythm: vessels that house simple ingredients, generosity amongst friends, and pleasure of staying a little longer.
