The ovoid volumes read as statement seating while remaining visually balanced—an early-2000s French atelier sensibility focused on tactile surfaces, compact proportions, and refined sculptural form.

In 2022, the chairs were professionally reupholstered in light-grey velvet, carefully preserving the original 2002 shapes and proportions while refreshing the surface for a crisp, presentation-ready appearance. A distinctive signature detail is the sculptural base: polished metal “pebble” elements combining yellow-gold and chrome finishes, introducing a subtle play of tone and reflectivity and grounding the soft upholstered volume with a discreet note of luxury. Ideal for curated residential interiors, dressing rooms, libraries, or boutique hospitality settings seeking rare custom Parisian design.
