The World of Atelier Vime - A Renaissance of Wicker and Style (Relié)

Atelier Vime - established by Benoît Rauzy and Anthony Watson in a grand eighteenth-century house in Vallabrègues, Provence - draws on the long tradition of wickerwork in this village of basket-makers on the banks of the Rhône River. This magnificent book retraces the history of basketry and its contemporary renaissance with Atelier Vime, and invites the reader to explore the poetic settings of the founders' homes across France - in Provence, Brittany, Paris, and Normandy.
The striking color palette of the limewashed walls - from periwinkle blue to burnt ocher - provides a unique backdrop for the antique furniture, decorative objects, and collections of classical and modern art that populate their interiors, punctuated by the woven designs of their wicker creations. Atelier Vime is a celebration of an idyllic, timeless way of life.
