The Kami 12 Coffee Table is a low, tiered platform from Le Cann's debut furniture collection, Kami, designed by Raphaëlle Robert and Guillaume Fantin in their Paris studio.
Three stepped levels of sandblasted pine ascend horizontally from the floor, each tier a clean-edged rectangle set back from the one below. The overall form reads as a single architectural mass rather than separate shelves. A solid object built from stacked planes, it shifts reading depending on the viewing angle: from above, the composition is strictly rectilinear; from the side, the stepping introduces rhythm without disrupting the geometry.
The timber is sandblasted pine throughout. The grain runs horizontally across the broad flat surfaces, its natural movement visible in the pale, warm-toned wood. The sandblasting process opens the wood's pores and removes any superficial sheen without staining the material, leaving a matte surface that shifts between near-white and warm sand depending on the ambient light.
Within the Kami collection, the Kami 12 sits alongside the Kami 09 and Kami 10 dining tables, the Kami 04 Day Bed, and the Kami 07 Console under a shared formal vocabulary drawn from 1930s French ensemble design. Le Cann was recognised by AD magazine 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.
