Minimal by name, minimal by nature, the Rien collection from Astier de Villatte – which translates from French to ‘nothing’ – highlights the beauty in paring things back. The pieces vary in thickness and shape, with irregularities in the white glaze that drive home the handmade design story. On the base, you’ll find a faint mark of the maker’s initials, reminding you that one pair of hands nurtured this side plate from start to finish.

Meet the maker:
Astier de Villatte
Old friends Ivan Pericoli and Benoît Astier de Villatte met at the prestigious École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, leading to the launch of Astier de Villatte in 1996. Since the beginning, they’ve been charmed with ideas of the imperfect, finding beauty in uneven glazes, dark pockmarks and subtle ripples. But these details only emphasise the craft tale behind each piece – stories that start with a single sheet of black terracotta clay extracted from Parisian quarries. They follow traditional Roman methods to bring each ‘dream object’ to life, shaping and inscribing each one with the potter’s initials and finishing with a high-shine white porcelain glaze.
