Picholines
Signature Collection
Olive groves, markets and the rhythm of the south
the history
The rhythm of Provence
Tradition is most convincing when nobody calls it tradition. In the South of France, the picholine olive has shaped everyday life for centuries: grown in the surrounding landscape, sold at market, tasted before lunch, pressed into oil and brought home without ceremony. These small rituals endure because they remain useful, pleasurable and entirely part of the day. Picholines takes its name from that quiet continuity. The collection is inspired by the idea that belonging to a place begins through repetition: returning to the same market, learning what is in season, developing rituals of your own. A family tradition does not need to be inherited; sometimes, it simply needs somewhere to begin.

Four homes to call your own.

the august way
Made with care, rooted in place
A tale of two townhouses
Once two separate townhouses, the home in Artà was joined into one during its renovation. That merger is still legible room to room: views shift and change as you move through the house, a layout no single original building could have produced. A stone façade at the entrance ties the combined house back to its 1915 origins.
A colour borrowed from Montecatini
The inspiration behind the design of each home always comes from its surrounds. For Via Gavine, its pink façade draws on an unexpected detail in Montecatini itself. While visiting the town, Studio RL noticed a local hotel with shutters in a distinctive shade of pink. It felt instantly familiar to the place, and became the starting point for the house beyond. While warm pinks and yellows are traditional to the area, this more saturated shade brings something bolder to the façade, giving the home a character all of its own. A small detail borrowed from the village, and a way of bringing a little of Montecatini home.
From the lavender hills of Provence, into your home
Villa Valeria’s Riviera Lavender body wash captures the essence of mornings in the South of France, blending lavandin, lavender, honeysuckle and rosemary inspired by the landscapes surrounding our homes. A ritual of renewal after days beneath the Mediterranean sun, bringing the quiet of herb gardens, open windows and Provençal air into moments of stillness.

Collection Overview
Four homes in the places our owners return to most.
Picholines is built around the rhythm of Provence, the quiet rituals that make a place begin to feel like your own. Four homes, each chosen for character, setting and sense of place, then thoughtfully designed by Studio RL using original architecture and natural materials. These are homes for long lunches, familiar walks and the pleasure of settling into a pace entirely your own. Four homes across four regions, and the freedom to follow the seasons between them.
