The Meï 04 is a chair by Agence Volta, part of the Meï collection for Monde Singulier, combining dark walnut structure with light beige textile upholstery.

Its base is built from two intersecting walnut panels, a motif shared across the Meï seating range. The seat appears to float above this base, its subtle curvature giving the piece an unexpected visual lightness. The backrest is a rounded bolster, upholstered in the same beige textile as the seat, integrated horizontally across the back of the walnut structure.

The combination of materials is consistent throughout the Meï seating pieces: dark walnut for structure, light beige textile for the upholstered surfaces. The contrast is deliberate: it establishes a clear reading between support and comfort.

Agathe Lavaud designed the Meï 04 within the same formal logic as the rest of the collection: symmetrical, material-first, with each element reduced to its necessary geometry.

About
Agence Volta

Volta is a Paris architecture and interior design studio founded in 2016 by Agathe Lavaud. Based in the Marais (3rd arrondissement), the studio works on bespoke private commissions: apartments, country houses, and heritage buildings treated as distinct spatial problems rather than typological exercises.

Six months studying in Rome gave Lavaud her foundational references. Aldo Rossi and Andrea Palladio shaped her attachment to symmetry and classical proportion. Those references surface in her work through structure and restraint, not quotation. The studio draws by hand and builds physical models; 3D renderings come last, if at all. Lavaud notes that 90% of clients learn to trust what they cannot yet visualize.

Materials define the studio's practice. Lavaud has developed a proprietary cork tinting process using natural pigments, a formula refined after a sourcing trip to Porto. The studio also collaborates with startups producing merrazzo from marine sediments, treating material innovation as a design value rather than a sustainability checkbox. Natural varnishes, textured stone, and a restrained chromatic palette run through the work consistently.

Notable projects include a duplex renovation in a Paris Art Deco building, an apartment in Marcel Breuer's Flaine ski station (2019), and a country house near Chantilly (2023). Each project begins with a detailed reading of the site; the intervention seeks to enhance the existing character rather than overwrite it.
