At La Maison Vime in Provence, the home-styled shop of rattan designers Anthony Watson and Benoît Rauzy of Atelier Vime, rooms are furnished with new and vintage rattan pieces, local ceramics, glassware, and books. The product of an extensive historic renovation, La Maison Vime is equipped with restored original details and lime paint using local pigments. Here, we’ve listed some of the rattan items available, along with other the designers’ finds, and a few ideas of our own.
