Cabinet Bleu
In this project, colour was used to dissolve the boundaries between surface and space, creating a holistic atmosphere that fully envelops the room. This deep ultramarine is one of the rarest pigments found in nature and is seen only in lapis lazuli stone. This rarity and uniqueness established a conceptual foundation that strengthens the value and character of our limited-edition piece. Positioned at the center, our Pantheon table stands as a focal point within an infinite field of blue.
In the Cabinet Blue project, we drew inspiration from Yves Klein blue — known in art for its deep ultramarine tones and derived from lapis lazuli, one of nature's rarest pigments and reinterpreted it through a spatial lens unique to this setting. Extremely difficult to achieve in both art and paint, this rare blue conveys a sense of depth and timelessness that few colours can claim. It is a tone that does not simply occupy a surface; it absorbs it, pulling the eye inward and suspending the viewer in a field of pure chromatic intensity.
Within this singular tone, we chose to present our distinctive design. We immersed the entire space in this monochromatic hue. Walls, ceiling, and floor were layered in blue through paint, textiles, and a custom-made monochrome carpet. In doing so, colour became more than a backdrop; it transformed into a spatial atmosphere, one that envelops, rather than decorates.

Colour Codes
Inspired by Yves Klein blue, we reinterpreted this unique tone within the space to present our furniture. This deep ultramarine - one of the rarest pigments found in nature - does not naturally occur in animals or flowers, and is seen only in lapis lazuli stone. Its absence from the living world is precisely what lends it such a powerful, almost otherworldly presence. As this tone does not naturally occur in flowers, the floral elements within the space were specially dyed to reinforce the singular chromatic narrative, ensuring that nothing within the room would break the immersive totality of the experience.

At the center stands our own design and production: the Pantheon table, limited to only 30 editions. Its rosewood root veneer surface, combined with white lacquer and solid wood legs, offers a warm and tactile counterpoint to the abstract depth of blue. The table does not resist its surroundings; rather, it anchors them. In the context of such chromatic immersion, the natural grain of the wood and the precision of the lacquer read with heightened clarity, each detail sharpened by contrast.
Cabinet Blue is a holistic experience where colour becomes space, and the material meets the immaterial. It is an invitation to look differently , at blue, at furniture, and at the relationship between the two.
