The M_001 Chair in white oak is a sculptural armchair designed by Marc Personick for the Monolith Collection. A U-shaped upper section forms the seat and armrests as a single integrated element. Below, a thick segmented base provides the structural anchor, its blocky proportions in deliberate contrast with the curved interior of the seat form.
The design applies the same material logic the Monolith Collection uses in travertine to white oak: reduction to essential geometry, no applied surface treatment, the grain of the wood left visible and unmediated. The natural medium brown tone varies slightly across the piece as the grain pattern shifts, particularly through the curved seat interior and along the flat arm planes.
Edges throughout are softly rounded, a deliberate choice that keeps the chair within the register of furniture rather than pure sculpture, while still maintaining the visual density that defines the collection.
The M_001 works in living rooms or as a reading chair, anywhere a single seat should function as the room's formal center. Available through Monde Singulier as part of the Monolith Collection.

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.
