BRAID TRAY

Craftmanship

Certain friendships are woven around passions shared. Such is the tale of Studio Vime, created by three art lovers who became friends: Anthony Watson, Benoit Rauzy and Raphaëlle Hanley. This trio - so perfectly recalling the friendship among diptyque's three founders - fell head over heals for the culture and artisan skills required for wickerwork.
Established in the southern French region Occitanie, in the beautiful city of Vallabrègues, former European capital of basket weaving, Atelier Vime makes objects in wicker, rope and bambou in an elegantly minimalist style that's either contemporary or resolutely vintage. diptyque has ordered the production of its very first collection of everyday objects in wicker.
Curvy, braided or openwork, the wicker espouses the diptyque Oval, transforming - under the agile artisan hands of the weaver - into a beautiful and most useful basket, platter or decorative object for dressing up tables and walls.
