Office Table by Johan Viladrich

Johan Viladrich works from his studio in Montpellier, France, designing furniture and spatial structures that treat metal as a primary formal language. His practice centers on brushed aluminium and steel, materials he approaches not for their industrial connotations but for their capacity to hold geometric precision at scale.

Viladrich's process is architectural in its logic: each piece is built from flat planes, cylindrical volumes, and intersecting sections, assembled with visible fasteners the design does not conceal. The construction method reads as surface texture rather than something to be hidden. This directness gives his work a durability of intent that resists trends in contemporary French furniture design.

The Johan Viladrich Collection, available through Monde Singulier, demonstrates this language across seating, storage, and working surfaces. Pieces such as the LAC Low Aluminium Chair and the Float cantilevered shelf distill his formal research into objects that function as furniture while reading as spatial propositions. His working surfaces, including the AL Desk and the RC03 Console, pair brushed-metal structures with glass, introducing transparency without softening the material character.

Based in Montpellier, Viladrich works outside the established French design centres, developing a practice focused on furniture design with architectural scale ambitions. His work on Monde Singulier extends his reach to collectors and interior architects seeking contemporary French furniture with a distinct material voice.
