The creative Maron Bouillie captures the most beautiful images of Provence then transfers them on to day-to-day objects. Typical landscapes or evocative details, they’re little pieces of Provence you can take home with you.

Everybody falls under the charm of Provence , its delightful villages, the colors, the details of the architecture, the omnipresent gourmet ingredients. Each visitor can’t help but take endless snapshots of these exceptional moments. The creative Maron Bouillie had the excellent idea of capturing these images in order to use them on objects from our daily life, making
decorative bath towels, shopping baskets, and tea towels and toilet bags. Via themed collections, such as the market or the town of Avignon, Maron Bouillie puts images together, creating a kind of mood board which instantly teleports you to the land of cicadas and lavender. A real graphic talent from a young woman who wants to “sow seeds of poetry”.

Authentic chic !
Far from clichéd images, Maron Bouillie’s collections demonstrate authenticity and freshness: the towels and bath mats feature a typical tiled floor, a perfect copy of the “tomettes” and decorated cement tiles of the region. This mimicry goes as far as reusing old advertisements whose traces remain on the walls of Provence boutiques. The creator also explores the problem of storage space presenting large soft boxes covered with printed fabric: a genuine winner for the home, when closed these boxes are an open door to Provence, and once open, a patchwork of charming retro details. And for those who want to have Provence with them
always, the series of make-up and toiletry bags and purses are a genuine ray of sunshine in your handbag. Careful, you’ll have a hard time resisting them!
