OUR STORY

MAS D’EN CAMO

It came time to get off my ass and say: “What I’m creating for myself is probably something you'd like too”. I realized that i was lucky to be surrounded by craftspeople who helped bring my One-of-a Kind pieces to life. Now i’ve created more, for you. Each is – One-of-a-Kind and perfectly imperfect.

 

Fabric scraps I’ve been collecting for years - now pillows. Leather remnants from Italy create unique seating by the incredibly talented Mon at Nubuckcuir. Messieurs Mathis & David forge chairs and table bases in Cerét, France. Marble, sourced locally has a new purpose - as cocktail tables. Aurelie has helped turned some thoughts into whispers on handblown, recycled glass. Amy Korb in Brooklyn, brought stoneware ceramics to life – (I had been dreaming of those for years). Manu and Celine and some good friends worked the olive fields to produce Charlie Olive Oil – it couldn’t be more organic. An obsession with smell, and an old house with dogs called for – handmade candles, using found treasures (I have enough toothbrush cups)... and well, you get the idea. 

 

I started each for a basic reason, I wanted something I wouldn’t see anywhere else, not made in China, unique, and I’d want to have around as long as possible.

These creations came out of true need and desire for my own home. A old 300 year old house, in need of some work and sunlight made things simple – Color to brighten it up. Less is more – keep it simple and unique, because it too is a unique home. 

 

Candles – between dogs, two fireplaces, and sparse rooms in need simple warmth. The stone Slab-Cocktails tables, because wood just adds to the darkness of an old "Mas" (farm house) - like the house they’re durable, functional and unique. Next to beds for summer guests, in between chairs when raining makes the entertaining move inside. Not precious, because with dogs, kids it’s hard to keep it precious. Throw pillows and blankets when boredom sets in, or the seasons change. Lets be honest who can afford to change everything and if you can - who has the time? It can quickly change a room quickly and inexpensively and best of all - I don’t need to commit. Ceramics & cocktails follow the same theory. We spend a lot time surrounded by friends up here on the mountain top. We’re luck some many people want to see us. The most social of social activities: enjoy a drink together before sharing a meal together.
