Description

Discover the enchanting world of olive wood, transformed into works of art by designer Aurore Vaillant in her vaulted workshop in Monticello, where she brings to life jewelry, key-rings, magnets and even games for children.
After several years in the trade, and having come to the conclusion that "Made in China" was becoming unbearable! Aurore Vaillant decided to take things a step further. "I've always been a very hands-on girl, and I'm fascinated by wood. Its grain, its smell, its density, I just had to give it my all!" She chose the olive tree for its symbolism (the tree of life) and its natural aesthetic qualities, making each piece unique. This uniqueness is particularly important to Aurore. Everything is meticulously handcrafted," she continues. I learned a lot from carpenters and former woodworking professionals". A know-how that she modernizes with recent technologies such as digital engraving. She has ambitious plans to start creating furniture, in collaboration with Monticello craftsmen. After renovating her first cellar into a workshop in 2016, Aurore now welcomes you to l'Attellu AV, a cocoon in her image: radiant and spontaneous!
