The Cyprès Bookcase M is a shelving unit by Frédéric Imbert, produced in collaboration with a specialist brass atelier.
A golden brass frame with softly rounded top edges holds a series of light wood shelves. Below, a rough hand-sculpted stone base anchors the piece, its geological weight setting an explicit contrast with the sleek metal above. The combination is the organizing idea of the Cyprès collection: hard geometry in tension with raw organic form. The proportions are deliberately tall and narrow, giving the piece a quiet but insistent presence.
The stone base is carved by hand in Imbert's Normandy workshop. No two bases share the same surface. The brass frame comes from a partner atelier, a collaboration Imbert has structured into the piece from the beginning. The partner's metallurgical precision complements the workshop's hand-carved approach. He views this exchange as essential, not supplementary.
The Cyprès Bookcase M belongs to a body of work Imbert has developed since founding his studio in 2019: collectible storage furniture that treats material contrast as its primary formal language.

About
Frédéric Imbert
Founded in 2019, Frédéric Imbert studio develops interiors, furniture, and scenography through research into new materials and textures.
With an office in Paris and a workshop in Normandy, Frédéric maintains complete visibility over every stage of a project, from the architecture down to the smallest detail. Also based in Beirut, a key city for his practice, the studio works internationally through collaborations with artisans and galleries including Jag (Paris), Aequo (India) and Chaos in Beirut.
A sculptor of spaces, Frédéric loves having his hands on the material and works with unexpected, local materials. He operates in a measured low-tech way and advocates spontaneity. "Always being in motion allows me a continuous, exuberant approach without worrying about methods and limits." This variety is the starting point of the studio. He develops a logical vision of production with reuse in mind: a respect for time, a constant quest for finesse, and a search for impact that is emotional as much as visual.
Frédéric Imbert draws from the beauty of nature, foliage, rocks, landscape and from the creative arts, from the potter to the goldsmith. His projects are odes to material: the material is the decor; the architecture of a place must be magnified, and the senses stimulated.
For Frédéric Imbert, everything is a collaboration. His work, as soft as it is contrasted, is motivated by a purity of lines and a genuine pursuit of shared knowledge. Behind each piece or project, there is a story born from a deep conversation between what the architecture offers and what the client desires. The studio has worked with Isabel Marant, Lanvin and Jo Malone across residential, hotel, restaurant and cinema projects.
Over more than four years, Frédéric Imbert has built a distinct aesthetic rooted in the decorative arts: an ethical, sustainable luxury defined by sensual organic forms and a sober, confident line.
