S8, Ep 52 - Ruth Ribeaucourt: A Creative Collaboration with Antoinette Poisson
Manage episode 482830117 series 2659028
Photographer and magazine founder, Ruth Ribeaucourt, talks to Judy about her creative collaboration with cult French interiors and homewares brand, Antoinette Poisson.
After photographing ‘A Year in the French Style’ for the brand’s founders, Vincent Farelly and Jean-Baptiste Martin, Ruth was invited to collaborate with them a second time on a range of wallpapers and fabrics, based on their shared love of historic French textiles and patterns.
Ruth recounts how visiting flea markets and collecting antique textiles as a novice collector, first helped her to learn the language and assimilate the culture of her adopted home when she moved to Provence from her native Ireland, and talks about FAIRE, the magazine she founded, to take her readers inside the creative lives of artists, artisans and curators from France and around the world.
You can listen to Judy's previous conversation with Ruth in Episodes 14 and 15 of Unpaused.
Show Notes:
Antoinette Poisson is known for reviving traditional paper dominoes—beautiful, repeat-pattern domino prints. With a cheeky nod to French history, they were named after King Louis XV’s favourite mistress, better known as Madame de Pompadour.
