We create porcelains in Monaco since 1973.

Inspired by the great mediterranean civilizations, and representing Monaco’s finest in hosting and savoir-vivre.

The original decorative designs were inspired by the rosettes and mosaics found in the Palace of the Prince, works of art reminiscent of the civilizations of the Mediterranean Sea.Luxurious and refined gift-articles, decorative accessories and, of course, a variety of tableware are appreciated by connoisseurs from all over the world for their unique style.Erich Rozewicz has for ever searched new ways to improve on the quality and beauty of his products.After Erich Rozewicz’s passing in 2000 at the age of 81, his son Joram Rozewicz took charge of the company, having spent many years acquiring his unique savoir-faire. The Manufacture de Porcelaine de Monaco can now look forward to perpetuating its tradition of creating beautiful pieces of porcelain.

 In 2006, Joram Rozewicz approached Swarovski to create a new line of table top porcelain exclusively decorated with Swarovski crystals. Pure designs create a contemporary and luxurious environment for a resolutely festive table where porcelain turns into jewelry.

Created since 1896, it is Mr Perret Gentil who gave this workshop its fame today by producing turquoise blue creations and lemon slips. The latter also becomes the main decoration of the workshop where it is done with a brush to decorate dishes by will. From the art of the table to the decorative objects, each decoration is made with brush and in relief according to a traditional technique which goes back to the creation of the company.

The Leather Craftsman

“My wish is that every woman can find the bag that suits her and that makes her happy.”

I have the desire to combine aesthetics, comfort and practice by combining shapes, colors, textures of different leathers and contrasts to give my bags “a little more” very current.

Self-taught, it is out of passion for this noble and living material that I came to work on leather. Thus, since July 1982, I draw and realize entirely all my bags and small leather articles.

Leather:

I chose to use full-grain calf leather for its flexibility and performance over the years. These skins used to make the outside of my bags come mainly from Tanneries du Puy (43) and Tanneries Roux (26).
The interior is lined with full grain Pécari leather of European origin.
The seam is made of nylon thread and the metal zippers.

It was in Biot that I found the good professional and family balance that allowed me to create, manufacture, present and sell my work, together with my wife and collaborator Muriel. At first, we had a workshop in different remote places and presented our creations in exhibitions and exhibitions (in Paris and its region, in the south of France and in Artisa Grenoble).

In 1987, we chose to have a workshop-shop, in Castillon, in the Alpes-Maritimes, where I made all the models in front of the visitors and my wife sold them on the spot.

In 2000, we moved to Biot (06), to continue our work of manufacturing and direct sales in our workshop-store. This village on a human scale is ideally located close to Cannes and Nice, between sea and mountains.

My curriculum
Initially: Training of industrial draftsman, a taste of precision, a great curiosity and jobs in various fields (staffor, landscaper etc …)
My path rich in experiences made me aware of materials, shapes, associations of colors.

We manufacture ourselves and manually our bags and other items. These are unique pieces. It can thus slip very slight differences between the images proposed on this site and the models produced. The photos of this site are not contractual.
All our models are registered.

Night market

If the Cours Saleya is famous for its diurnal market, held almost daily, and the delicious accents of Provence and Italy, we also love his night market. No fruits and vegetables here, but a vast selection of original products. All premises are local, but here you can find creations for artisans, some regional souvenirs, and artistic compositions for example. Whatever it is, a pleasant atmosphere for a digestive walk in particular.

PIOT FAMILY
OWNER OF THE HOUSE ALZIARI

In the 90’s, the Piot family bought the last olive oil mill in Nice from the Alziari-Nègre family. The company Alziari, then a miller trading since 1868, will become under the influence of the Piot family one of the most important oil house in France. The family bringing a new job in the house to know that of producer.

THE MILL

They use the “Genoese” method, of which we are one of the last defenders in Europe. After a slow grinding of the olives for two to three hours, the stone basin is filled with cold water; the olive oil on the surface is immediately recovered to be decanted. The rest of the pulp will be placed in the scourtins (coconut fiber filters) to be pressed. This is called the first cold press. The mill runs between November and March. They organize tasting workshops and guided tours.

THE BOUTIQUE DU MOULIN 318 Boulevard de la Madeleine

Placed under the family home for convenience and located on the site of the mill, this shop has always existed. Still decorated with many period furniture and traditional objects, it is the joy of the inhabitants of the neighborhood who, children, already came to nibble some olives.

THE BOUTIQUE OF OLD NICE 14, Rue François de Paule

It was in 1932 that the family decided to open a shop in Old Nice. The oil from the horse-drawn mill was daily lowered to supply the tin-iron drums of the little shop. Despite the years, the small universe of thirty square meters has remained an island of authenticity. It has become a must for lovers of local products.

DOMAINS

They operate several estates with thousands of olive trees in the heart of the French Riviera. With more than 60 hectares, our house has become the largest producer in the region *.

The work is done all year round, mainly by hand in terraces (hillside boards). They have been using products from organic farming for years; because one can not conceive of cultivating a secular tree without thinking of future generations.

For some of our best wines, they also work with other areas in Europe to offer fans, wines of incomparable finesse and a unique signature. To taste an olive oil Alziari, it is to offer an unforgettable Mediterranean parenthesis.
