About Us

Quel Objet! What a thing!

Things beautiful and beautifully made, distinctive, sophisticated, and fun.

Things French, with that ineffable style.

Things highly regarded in France, but not yet widely known in the U.S.

Things we discovered in a spring trek in the Pyrénées, in tiny towns in the mountains, in a small family factory in the foothills.

Things created by talented and creative artists and designers.

Things fabricated by hard-working people in small family businesses.

Things whose origins were based on traditional designs and motifs—Basque and Catalan linens, decorative Provençal chickens—and had given them new life, sophistication, and humor.

Things that surprise: striking color combinations, ceramic chickens with individual personalities.
