The Y Desk from Kelly Boukobza's Y. collection is cut from a single material: light beige travertine with pronounced horizontal veining. The long rectangular top sits on two substantial angled bases that assert different functions. The left base integrates three drawers flush with the stone face; the right base is a solid geometric block. The asymmetry is deliberate, an echo of the collection's interest in volumes that collide rather than mirror each other.
The top has slightly tapered ends, giving the monolithic mass a degree of precision at its edges. Against the weight and mineral presence of the stone, this shaping reads as restraint applied with care.
Travertine is the dominant material language of the Y. collection, appearing in the Y Yoki Dining Table, the Y Console, and the Y Yara Fireplace as well as here. Each piece treats the stone differently. In the desk, the focus is the relationship between the raw surface and the integrated millwork of the drawers, where natural irregularity and precision exist side by side.
The Y Desk is available through Monde Singulier.

About
Kelly Boukobza
Kelly Boukobza is the founder of KY Architecture, a Paris-based interior architecture studio she established in 2012. After studying architecture and working alongside architect Isabelle Stanislas for five years, she launched her own studio with a style she calls Modern Art Deco.
Her references are the French Decorative Arts of the 1950s: Charlotte Perriand, Jeanneret, Serge Mouille, Le Corbusier. She works them against raw materials and the restraint of contemporary minimalism. Her interiors are structured yet lively, built around sober tones and refined atmospheres adapted to how her clients live.
KY Architecture works across private residences, boutiques, hotels, and art galleries, mainly between Paris, Saint-Tropez, Avignon, Deauville, Geneva, and Méribel. A villa in Saint-Tropez in 2018 was the studio's first major reference. An apartment on Avenue Rapp in Paris (2022) and a hôtel particulier in Neuilly-sur-Seine (2022) followed. The studio has completed around a hundred projects.
Kelly Boukobza also designs furniture. The Y. collection is a capsule of colliding volumes, combining curves and angles in meticulous finishes worked in Calacatta Verde marble, Onyx Green, travertine, and walnut. It is her first collection released under her own name, outside interior commissions.
Each project at KY Architecture integrates bespoke furniture and close collaboration with craftsmen, from conception through delivery.
