The Frank Armchair is a marble seating piece by Aurélia Bouyssonie, part of the Tribute Collection by Marmo Spirito in Tunis.
Like its counterparts in the collection, the armchair derives its formal authority from a strict modernist vocabulary: flat planes, low proportions, and the kind of studied restraint associated with the work of Jean Michel Frank. The arms extend horizontally, grounding the piece visually while maintaining the architectural rigour of the silhouette.
Marble is the only material. The stone contributes both mass and character; each chair carries its own pattern of natural veining, unrepeatable from piece to piece. The studio finishes the stone to preserve its geological surface rather than levelling it into uniformity.
The Frank Armchair belongs to a seating group completed by the Frank Sofa and Frank Footstool. Together they form the core of Bouyssonie's Tribute Collection, a body of sculptural marble furniture that places Marmo Spirito in direct conversation with the modernist tradition.

About
Marmo Spirito
Aurélia Bouyssonie is a French architect and designer based in Tunis, working under Marmo Spirito, a brand she founded around marble furniture and material experimentation.
Educated in Rome and Paris, she developed a minimalist approach rooted in Mediterranean vernacular architecture. Her declared references are Mies van der Rohe and Jean Michel Frank: both offer the same lesson in restraint, where essential forms and noble materials do the work that ornament refuses to do. Bouyssonie applies that discipline to furniture that reads as sculpture first, seating second.
From a hybrid gallery-studio on the outskirts of Tunis, she also leads Phosphor, a creative collective that has turned the surrounding neighborhood into a production and exhibition hub. The studio operates across architecture commissions and object design, with marble as the constant thread.
On Monde Singulier, Marmo Spirito is represented by the Tribute Collection: the Frank Sofa, Frank Armchair, and Frank Footstool. Each piece is carved from marble, conceived as architectural marble seating that pays direct homage to the two masters who give the collection its name. The result is sculptural marble furniture designed to hold its character over decades, not seasons.
