Description

I’m Stella, a multimedia artist, and together with my mother Magdalen, a talented painter, we created Vintage Box Atelier. We have led numerous workshops and work closely as a team to craft unique, vintage-inspired handmade items and furniture. Our creations combine chalk paints, acrylics, clay ornaments, crystals, and rhinestones, blending different techniques to achieve distinctive results. Our work is inspired by the elegance of romantic European interiors, French Provence, and Baroque styles.
