A NOTE

French ceramics brand Astier de Villatte was founded in 1996 by artists Ivan Pericoli and Benoît Astier de Villatte. Their signature white-glazed ceramics have since become luxury staples globally.

Since 2013 North Sea Air exclusively has visually captured the travels, art, design process, inspirations, musings, and home and professional lives of the elusive pair. Documentary-style filmmaking showcases the genuine beauty of their craft whilst sharing a peek into their unique personal lives.

DETAIL

More than thirty films across nine locations, ranging from twenty seconds to thirteen minutes, featured in Vogue, Elle Decor and T Style Magazine.

“I love the movie! It is fresh, happy, very pleasant. I guess this is your personal Amy-Graeme touch.”
