In Rosheim, a ceramicist throws a salad bowl whose outside stays raw and inside is glazed. In Boersch, a basket-maker weaves a wicker basket. In Gérardmer, a workshop prints a flowered tablecloth. Behind these gestures, scattered between Alsace and the Vosges, are two sisters-in-law: Mathilde and Marine. Mathilde, an art director trained at La Cambre in textile design, draws every motif, every piece and every collection. Marine, a former paediatric nurse born in Alsace and attached to her region, runs its development. Together they founded Maison Primavera to pass on to their children a taste for colour, pattern and craft. Around Mathilde's drawings, the brand gathers a circle of local artisans and workshops: a ceramicist in Rosheim and one in Nancy, a basket-maker in Boersch, a candle-maker in Bischwihr, a cabinetmaker in Guémar and a textile workshop in Gérardmer. Porcelain thrown and glazed by hand, antique linen and kelsch embroidered, Oeko-Tex certified cotton and linen woven in the Vosges, wicker woven, vegetable wax poured, wood turned: every piece comes from an identifiable hand. The collections, one a year, mix plain pieces with original motifs, in limited runs. Many are unique and will not be remade; some travel with a certificate of authenticity. From tableware to home linen and decoration, Maison Primavera composes a whole home, made to last and to be handed down.
