The Ki console by Magniant is a tribute to Japanese cabinetmaking but made in France. “I wanted to go towards the exceptional by collaborating with a French cabinet maker known for a sense of detail and his unique know-how,” says Magniant. “This collection explores the Japanese Yakisugi wood technique, by “fossilizing” the wood, giving it an almost mineral appearance.” The beauty of the console for Magniant lies in its materiality. “Organic yet almost mineral, it needs to be felt to understand its nature.” 20| Bronze Console by Jean Boggio Garance Interior Design This beautiful bronze and glass console depicts a trio of tree trunks but is so much more. It is whimsical and organic, created as a prototype for a popular limited edition of similar pieces by Jean Boggio, the famous French designer, goldsmith, and jeweler. Boggio brings together inspirations from fairy tales, legends, and childhood memories to create pieces that evoke beauty and mystery.
