Henri Roche’s family business has seen all kinds of turmoil through 2 world wars. Despite the stopping and starting, the invasion of the German’s in his workshop, age and illness, Roche prided himself so deeply on the art of this workshop and business, that through all this history he always found a way to keep it alive.

After reading all I could find about the history and making of this house and seeing these beautiful photos documenting the process of making pastels, I fell so deep inlove with the idea. Just looking at the pictures you are taken through a visual journey and transported through time.
