The Kami 05 is a sculptural side table from the Kami collection, Le Cann's debut furniture range, formed in beige lacquer.
Its two-part form consists of a wide, shallow bowl-shaped top that rests directly on a flared cylindrical base. The lacquered finish is uniform across both elements, matte and consistent, pulling the two discrete forms into a single coherent object. The bowl's shallow concavity and the base's subtle taper give the piece a proportional intelligence that is harder to resolve than it looks.
In the Kami collection, sandblasted pine pieces and lacquerwork pieces operate in the same formal register but pursue different material effects. Where pine exposes grain and surface variation, lacquer eliminates incident and concentrates attention on geometry. The Kami 05 is Le Cann's study in the latter: a pure geometric resolution in beige lacquer that reads from across a room as a small sculpture.
Raphaelle Robert and Guillaume Fantin bring an architectural eye to the Kami pieces. The Kami 05's proportions, a broad shallow vessel on a compact cylindrical base, would not be out of place as a column detail in a restrained modernist interior.
Part of the Kami collection by Le Cann, AD100 and FD100 studio.

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.
