The Y Yeti Chair from Kelly Boukobza's Y. collection pairs a continuous light oak frame with a distinctively shaped backrest. The seat is upholstered in cream bouclette; the back takes the form of a soft cloud-like volume, rounded at every edge, with no hard transition between its mass and the armrests beneath it. The frame runs as a single loop under the entire structure, making armrests and legs a single element.
The combination of materials here is the clearest expression of the Y. collection's formal logic: wood provides structure and precision, the upholstered form provides softness and movement. Where the frame is linear, the back is organic. The contrast is the composition.
The Yeti Chair belongs to the seating family of the Y. collection alongside the Y Ivy Armchair, Y Ivy Sofa, and Y Ivy Asy Sofa. Among these, it is the most architecturally explicit: the relationship between the exposed frame and the upholstered back is the defining element of the piece.
The Y Yeti Chair 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.
