Description
Michel Jouannet Left Bench Black patinated steel frame, upholstered seat in fabric, asymmetrical backrest in patinated metal Maison Pouenat edition H72 W108 D54 SH46 cm Signs of wear / discolouration of the leather The LEFT bench perfectly illustrates this approach. Its asymmetrical design, characterised by an off-centre, enveloping backrest, breaks with traditional seating conventions to offer a piece that is both functional and sculptural. The delicacy of the metal frame contrasts with the generous volume of the upholstered seat, creating a particularly refined visual balance. Produced by Pouenat, a French company founded in 1880 and renowned for the excellence of its metalwork, this creation demonstrates exceptional craftsmanship applied to contemporary furniture. With its bold graphic character and instantly recognisable silhouette, LEFT is as much a work of design as it is a piece of furniture. Its curved backrest acts as a standalone architectural element, transforming the bench into a true domestic sculpture. A French designer renowned for his architectural approach to furniture, Michel Jouannet creates pieces for Éditions Pouenat in which geometric rigour interacts with great formal freedom. His work is distinguished by a subtle balance between functionality, graphic elegance and sculptural presence.
