The M_001 Chair in stone is a sculptural travertine armchair from the Monolith Collection, designed by Marc Personick.
The upper section is a U-shaped block, carved so that the interior forms the seat and the arms emerge from the same continuous mass. This monoblock sits on two legs that deliberately differ: one cylindrical, one rectangular. The asymmetry is introduced into a form that is otherwise entirely geometric, and it gives the piece its character: the visual tension between the uniform upper body and the mismatched legs.
Travertine runs throughout. The porous surface of the stone is left unpolished, exposing the characteristic open texture and the warm beige tones of the material. The chair is substantial in person, consistent with its material: this is furniture that occupies space with physical authority.
In the Monolith Collection, the M_001 is among Marc Personick's founding pieces, the first to demonstrate that stone seating can be fully resolved without compromise between sculptural object and functional chair.

About
Monolith
Monolith is a New York design studio and gallery founded in 2023 by Marc Personick. The practice centers on one formal idea: brutalist furniture design that belongs in the home with the same authority it occupies in architecture. Every piece begins with geometry and mass, then submits to the logic of the material.
Stone and wood structure the Monolith palette. Travertine, volcanic and porous, arrives cream-colored and marked by natural incident: veining, pores, the record of its formation. White oak runs warmer and more immediate, offsetting the stone's geological weight. Together, the two materials define the studio's range: neither polished nor rough, but deliberately between.
Personick collaborates with architects and independent designers to expand the Monolith vocabulary. The M_001 Chair, a U-shaped travertine block resting on two differently formed legs, typifies the approach: geometry without ornament, material without apology. The M_007 Lounge Chair stacks travertine into an angled resting form, functional and sculptural in equal measure.
The Monolith Collection spans more than twenty objects: seating, tables, consoles, benches, and lighting, each available in stone or wood variants. Launched in 2023, the collection has attracted collectors and interior architects looking for geometric designer furniture grounded in material discipline rather than surface gesture.
Monolith pieces are available on Monde Singulier.
