Eaux and Forêts
I walked through the rooms of La Manufacture Royale Lectoure, and on many of the chairs, there were blankets. Different from others. You could sense that by just looking at them. And then, by the touch, they seemed to be so special. And quite honestly, they are. Created by an interior designer and artistic director of an ecological hemp home linen line for 5 years, she created this brand Euax & Forets.
"We create authentic blankets, elegant cushions, and curtains with a perfect drape because we love beautiful and functional pieces that promote a feeling of simplicity and authenticity in our homes. Our collections are inspired by the infinite richness of the landscapes of France. Our tastes are refined and raw. Our history is sourced in an education rocked by family homes and plural cultures. We work with local companies that use traditional manufacturing processes, including an artisanal part and ancestral know-how. We have sought to minimize transport in the manufacturing stage. We have selected companies in the Landes and the Basque country where we live for design, creation, manufacturing, packaging and shipping. The Rhone-Alpes region is used for weaving, and although it is a little further from us, wide-width weavers are increasingly rare in France. We dream of beautiful, durable, desirable, responsible, french eco-elegance."
The collections, in synchronicity with the colours of nature, are not only inspiring but made to perfection, from the colours to designs and finishing touches, fitting not only rural homes but chic interiors and minimal Scandinavian interiors.
