A Contemporary Reinterpretation of Tatami
Part of the Moving Tatami collection, this elegant bench by José Lévy reimagines the traditional washitsu aesthetic through a refined modern lens. Inspired by Japanese ideograms, it elevates classical materials into a sculptural, floating form.

Masterful Material Contrast
The interplay of specular black lacquer and handwoven virgin wood by Dedar creates a striking balance between gloss and texture, lightness and structure. This fusion of French craftsmanship and Japanese tradition results in an understated yet bold statement piece.

Minimalist Elegance with a Global Perspective
Bridging Parisian chic minimalism with Japanese sensibility, this bench embodies a subtle sophistication that seamlessly integrates into both contemporary and traditional interiors. It offers a poetic reinterpretation of seating, making it as much an art object as a functional piece.

Designed by an Award-Winning Visionary
Created by José Lévy, Chevalier des Arts et Lettres and Grand Prix de la Ville de Paris laureate, this design reflects his deep cultural storytelling, effortlessly bypassing conventional trends while offering a fresh perspective on modern living.
