Two brands who, together, bring something entirely new to the table. John Derian once again teamed up with iconic French purveyor of white tableware Astier de Villatte, adding a touch of color and whimsy via 19th century inspired patterns and images to their starkly beautiful ceramics. Browse their collaboration here.
John’s early obsession with printed matter ultimately led him to decoupage, the art of cutting and pasting paper. Since 1989, he and a small studio of artisans in New York City have been creating glass plates, trays, bowls, and other decorative home items with imagery from his vast and ever-expanding collection of 18th and 19th century prints.
John has a special place at the Summerill & Bishop table. In addition to his tablecloth and napkin design collaborations, he has created a collection of six charming placemats. Made in England from a sustainably sourced eucalyptus base, these round placemats have a cork backing, are heat resistant and wipe clean, making everyday meals feel a little bit more special. See the full collaboration here.
Astier de Villatte’s creativity extends beyond ceramics to unique scents for the body and home. Their fragrance workshop produces exceptional perfumes, colognes, incense, and scented candles. Take an olfactory tour of the world here.
