The Kami 01 Stool is the smallest seating piece in the Kami collection by Le Cann, the Paris studio founded in 2021 by Raphaëlle Robert and Guillaume Fantin.

The form is a study in two-part construction: a rounded textile cushion in off-white sits atop a smooth, matte beige lacquered cylinder, the joint between the two marked by a recessed flange that defines the boundary without drawing attention to it. The proportions are squat and compact, the outline close to circular when seen from above. It works as extra seating, an accent side table, or a surface for a book or plant, depending on what the room needs.

The finish on the base is a single matte beige lacquer, warm and low-reflectance, chosen to absorb rather than deflect the light. The textile on the cushion holds the same neutral register, a warm off-white that reads as a continuation of the base rather than a contrast. The overall palette is tight and monochromatic.

The Kami 01 belongs to a collection where each piece was resolved at the drawing stage before any material was selected. Robert and Fantin, who trained at firms including Andrée Putman, Joseph Dirand, Thierry Lemaire, and Marie Deroudilhe, brought to the Kami collection the same empirical precision that defines their residential interiors. Le Cann was named among AD magazine's emerging decoration talents in 2023 and awarded the FD100 Prize in 2024.

About
Le Cann

Founded in 2021 by Raphaëlle Robert and Guillaume Fantin, Le Cann studio brings a precise French minimalist voice to interior architecture. The two designers met at École Bleue before training at the most demanding Parisian firms: Raphaëlle at Marie Deroudilhe and Thierry Lemaire, Guillaume at Andrée Putman and Joseph Dirand. That formation shows in every project.

Their practice is rooted in drawing. Pages of traced lines, refined collaboratively, guide the spatial thinking that defines Le Cann's work. Volumes are shaped by light. Clean lines articulate space without announcing themselves. The 1930s design tradition, with its attention to ensemble and craft, runs through everything they produce, yet the studio resists a fixed aesthetic. Inspiration, Robert and Fantin have said, can arrive through travel, a film, or a material flaw that turns out beautifully, and each project is shaped by its own context.

The result holds opposing qualities in tension: rigorous and warm, minimal and referential, restrained and expressive. Sisal, travertine, and brocade recur across their commissions, chosen for tactile presence rather than trend. The guesthouse in Castillon-du-Gard, completed in 2022, stands among their most recognized projects, a 32 m² space where bold architectural gesture and disciplined detailing coexist.

Recognition has followed quickly. AD magazine named the studio among France's emerging decoration talents in 2023. The FD100 Prize and the AD & Range Rover Awards came in 2024. Le Cann is listed among the AD100, the annual selection of France's most influential interior architects. Their work is available on Monde Singulier.
