MON CHAIR is a multitude of occasional/backup stools to receive anytime any number of guests; able to collapse into a bench to minimize its volume and free the space taken in our interior.
Let’s note that the more people we invite home, the more chairs we need, and the more it takes space into our interior, when not needed.
How is it then possible to create a lot of seats in a minimum of space?
Thus, MON CHAIR is at first a simple volume, a monolithic bench, with a parametric appearance and grooved sides catching light.
Of course, it can support only a limited quantity of people on its back, in this state.
But matter being infinitely divisible is a common idea. This is why the bench can be divided into a multitude of identical butterflies.
Each butterfly is composed of two slates connected with a textile hinge.
Once unfolded, two butterflies easily assemble by sliding one top to tail into the other, to obtain a stool.

From simple thick plane surfaces stacked, a creation of volume happens to obtain enough surface and stability to seat on it, with or without cushion, for our passing guests.
MON CHAIR can be manufactured in various slate materials, such as plywood, warm and soft as much for the eye as for the touch, and harmonizing with the majority of interiors; frosted polycarbonate, for a more modern and aerial look, playing with transparency and blur; recycled plastic, and its random patterns and colors, for a firmly engaged and sustainable style.
« Come whenever you want » : In this way, psychological pressure on people who restrain themselves from visiting us is removed.
No more fear to disturb or not to be wanted. They are always welcomed, they will always have a seat, whatever the moment and their number.
There is no embarrassment when a new guest is coming and doesn’t know where to seat. The conviviality circle never breaks, it only extends in a continuous dynamic.
MON CHAIR doesn’t shut the door (both literally and figuratively) to human contact. It creates social ties and sharing, by accepting spontaneity.
