The Meï 05 is a side table by Agence Volta, compact in scale and uncompromising in geometry, part of the Meï collection for Monde Singulier.

The round top carries a slightly recessed lid, a detail that gives the surface a layered quality without breaking its circular discipline. Below, four rectangular walnut panels intersect at the centre to form an X-shaped base, a structural solution that doubles as the piece's defining visual element.

Dark walnut throughout, with a grain that reads consistently from the top surface through to the base panels. There is no applied detail: the wood and its grain carry the entire composition.

The Meï 05 is the smallest table in the collection, and in some ways its most resolved. The X base appears across other Meï pieces as a formal motif, repeated until it becomes a signature.

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.
