Dark brown solid wood, broad flat panel legs, a backrest that sits like a cantilevered slab: Chaise n°4 is the most geometric piece in L'Établissement's collection. The compact rectangular seat has subtly rounded front corners, a small concession to comfort that keeps the form from reading as purely architectural.
A small dark block detail is fixed to the front support. It reads as a structural element and as a signature, the kind of purposeful detail that separates an atelier piece from an industrial one. Quentin Pigeat designed Chaise n°4 at his La Courneuve workshop, drawing on a decade of architectural practice before turning to woodworking.
Available customised on request.

About
L'Établissement
L'Établissement is an artisan furniture workshop in La Courneuve, north of Paris. Quentin Pigeat founded it in 2022 after ten years as an architect, bringing a trained eye for proportion and structure to a practice rooted in carpentry and joinery.
The workshop makes handcrafted wooden furniture and objects from solid materials: oak, walnut, and raw timber chosen for their natural character. Pigeat's approach follows the French tradition of menuiserie, with structural joints, honest material use, and surfaces left to show how the wood was worked. No veneer, no finish that conceals the grain.
That restraint is deliberate. The workshop's guiding principle is to respect raw materials in their nature and imperfections, combining them in their simplest forms to produce objects with lasting use. The carpenter's sensibility runs through the studio's entire output: chairs, armchairs, and tables where the joinery is visible and load-bearing.
Each piece in the collection can be customized on request. The atelier also takes bespoke commissions for furniture and spatial objects, working with private clients on made-to-order projects.
"Respect raw materials, their nature and imperfections. Combine them in their simplest form. Assemble them thoughtfully to craft timeless objects and spaces."
On Monde Singulier, L'Établissement offers its line of custom wood furniture built in La Courneuve: armchairs, dining chairs, and low tables available to order, each one carrying the direct marks of its making.
