The Barth Stool Marble is cut entirely from Arabesco Orobico Grigio, a black, white, and grey veined marble known for its graphic natural patterning. Part of the Umbra collection, Le Berre Vevaud's exclusive collaboration with Monde Singulier, it applies the duo's signature spool form (three stacked curvilinear sections narrowing at the centre) to stone with full formal commitment.
Working in marble rather than lacquer changes the terms of the object. The Arabesco Orobico Grigio introduces a surface that cannot be designed, only revealed: the swirling veins run across the hourglass contour as they were found in the block. French artisans certified by the Entreprises du Patrimoine Vivant shaped and polished the piece, maintaining the precision of the curves throughout.
Raphaël Le Berre and Thomas Vevaud conceived the Barth Stool as a form that could hold its authority in any material. The marble version, produced in limited edition exclusively for Monde Singulier, carries the weight of stone in both senses: a piece that grounds a room by presence alone.

About
Le Berre Vevaud
Founded in Paris in 2008 by Raphaël Le Berre and Thomas Vevaud, graduates of the École Camondo, Le Berre Vevaud works across luxury residential architecture: apartments and private mansions in Paris and London, vacation homes in Greece.
The firm's formal language draws from two sources that rarely appear together: the geometric rigour of Art Deco and the chromatic provocation of the Memphis movement. Rather than resolving the tension between them, Le Berre Vevaud builds on it, producing interiors of solid form, exceptional materials, and atmosphere that accumulates rather than announces.
Collaboration with French artisans recognized as Entreprises du Patrimoine Vivant runs through every project. For Le Berre Vevaud, this network is not a finishing touch but a technical foundation, embedding centuries of specialized knowledge into each surface and material choice.
In October 2021, the studio opened a gallery in the Carré Rive Gauche (20 rue de Verneuil, Paris), presenting furniture conceived for their own interiors and available to a wider audience.
AD 100-listed, Le Berre Vevaud developed the Umbra collection exclusively with Monde Singulier: a limited edition revisiting the firm's most emblematic silhouettes, including the Barth Stool and the Peonia armchair, worked in stone, noble lacquers, and precious textiles within a palette of light and shadow.
