The Kami 11 Speakers are a pair of tall, slender cabinet towers from the Kami collection by Le Cann, the Paris studio founded in 2021 by Raphaëlle Robert and Guillaume Fantin.
Each tower tapers from a multi-layered plinth to a narrower crown, the gradual silhouette reading more like a totem than conventional audio furniture. Two circular black drivers are mounted flush on the front face in vertical alignment, their dark tone a deliberate contrast to the pale sandblasted pine. The layered base structure echoes the vocabulary used throughout the Kami collection, from the tiered Kami 12 Coffee Table to the block feet of the Kami 04 Day Bed.
Sandblasted pine runs through the entire structure. The treatment opens the wood's surface pores without stripping its colour, producing a matte, slightly rough texture that shifts from near-white under direct light to warm sand in dimmer conditions. No lacquer is applied.
Le Cann designed the Kami 11 to function equally as acoustic furniture and as a stand-alone design object. In a living room or study, the towers hold their presence whether switched on or silent. Raphaëlle Robert and Guillaume Fantin, who built their approach at firms including Andrée Putman, Joseph Dirand, and Thierry Lemaire, apply to speaker design the same geometric discipline 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.
