The story
The Ganymède is a rectangular console cabinet whose top surface combines woven panels of natural straw with square inlays of patinated copper. The weaving and the oxidized metal sit flush, forming a dense, textured plane where organic fiber and worked metal meet at the same level.
Two substantial bell-shaped legs, finished in aged bronze, support the cabinet body. Their silhouette is architectural rather than furniture-like: solid, bell-curved, resolute. The piece's color palette stays close: warm tans, reddish-brown, deep patinated copper, with no bright accent introduced for contrast's sake.
Ganymède is Jupiter's largest moon and the largest in the solar system. Altin's naming convention across the Orbite collection references celestial bodies with mass and gravity. This cabinet holds that register: weighty in presence, restrained in finish.
The woven straw panels draw on a textile tradition present throughout the Maghreb for generations. Combined with the copper inlays, the cabinet places ancestral Tunisian craft techniques, both textile and metalwork, into a single contemporary object. Designed by Altin Studio (AD100, founded 2023).
About Altin
Altin is a Tunisian design studio founded in 2023 by Yasmine, a Paris-trained interior architect, and Mehdi, a civil engineer. Their practice is rooted in direct engagement with ancestral Tunisian craft, treating traditional techniques not as cultural reference but as working method.
The studio draws from Tunisian artisanal traditions, some tracing back to the Neolithic period. Yasmine and Mehdi treat these practices as living knowledge: skills transmitted across generations, shaped by the country's layered cultural history. Their approach to organic minimalism places material at the center. The weight of dark-stained wood, the texture of patinated copper and bronze, the surface imperfections that industrial manufacture eliminates. These are not flaws to correct but marks to preserve.
