Modern lectern by STÉPHANE MILLET known as 'ESSAIME' for QUART DE POIL

About the Item

In the world of design, there are creations that transcend mere functionality, becoming iconic pieces of art and innovation. The lectern designed by the distinguished architect D.P.L.G., Stéphane Millet, also known as Essaime for his design efforts, is quite a masterpiece. This timeless wonder was born in 1992 under the capable hands of the QUART DE POIL production company, a winning collaboration that has left an indelible mark on the world of contemporary furniture. Approach this extraordinary lectern and you will find yourself transported to a realm where imagination knows no bounds. It is as if you have entered the future of design, a place where geometry converges with a touch of avant-garde sensibility. The elegant wooden frame hides a secret inside, carefully carved coves to cradle books on small removable glass shelves. Every curve and contour testifies to precision and craftsmanship. But it is not just a lectern; it is an invitation to knowledge and creativity. Perched gracefully beside it, you will discover a stool, a faithful companion that invites you to stand and interact with the world of ideas. As you prepare to share your thoughts and inspirations, this lectern becomes your faithful ally, ready to support your every word. And then, in the upper reaches of this masterpiece, a book-shaped metal lectern emerges, as if a literary volume has taken flight. It cradles books and texts with an elegance that goes beyond mere utility. It symbolizes the enduring relationship between design and literature, where the written word finds its proper place in the great tapestry of art. The craftsmanship of this French design lectern is unprecedented. It is a testament to the visionary genius of Stéphane Millet and the dedication of QUART DE POIL'. When you introduce this lectern into your space, you're not just adding furniture; you're welcoming a work of art, a symbol of modernity, and a conversation starter. It is a statement that echoes through time, linking the past to the future. With every glance, it reminds us that design, in its purest form, is an emotional journey through the realms of creativity and functionality. Stéphane MILLET Directs the architecture, engineering and design firm Clé-Millet-International, which is particularly active in the fields of culture and entertainment. The team boasts prestigious projects in Paris, the French provinces and abroad, where it has offices that adhere to the same philosophy of a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to environmental quality. In the field of design, he has received several awards for furniture designed for QUART DE POIL' (V.I.A. labels and Prix de la Critique du Meuble Contemporain). His creations illustrate a recurring quest for economy of production and transportation, design rigor and flexibility of use. These include the Sac à Siège cardboard stool and the Zéro-chute collection, representative of his work on optimizing materials.
