The Yachting in Acapulco Bay Table is an occasional table by Rudy Guénaire, from the Croisière collection.
Its top is a slab of polished limestone with a light, speckled surface and distinctly layered edges that expose the stone's geological cross-section. The base is composed of two cylindrical columns in dark varnished wood, separated by a thin horizontal strip of polished aluminium, and resting on a low rounded-rectangular metal plate. Two oval inlays in contrasting brown tone mark the tabletop's surface. The assembly reads as a refined industrial form under a natural material.
The limestone is polished but retains its natural veining; no two tops share the same surface distribution. The dark wood columns are finished in a deep varnish. The aluminium strip mediates between the organic warmth of the stone and the depth of the wood, its polished surface introducing a third material note.
The Croisière collection often draws on the formal contrast of materials from different worlds meeting in a single object. The Yachting in Acapulco Bay Table proposes stone, wood, and metal as a triad that holds together in a yacht interior and equally in a residential space designed by Rudy Guénaire's Studio Night Flight.

About
Rudy Guénaire
Rudy Guénaire draws everything by hand. No 3D software, no renderings, just pencil on paper, from floor plans to furniture to napkin holders. It is the most legible fact about how he works, and it shapes what his spaces feel like: particular, considered, resistant to the generic.
He came to design sideways. A graduate of HEC, he co-founded PNY (Paris New York) in 2012 as a restaurateur, and it was through building out successive PNY locations across Paris, Lyon, Strasbourg, and Bordeaux that he discovered a talent for interior design. Working alongside architects CUT and Bernard Dubois sharpened that instinct further. In 2021, he formalized the practice as Studio Night Flight, a name taken from Saint-Exupéry.
The studio's work spans restaurants, residences, and bespoke furniture and lighting. Matsuri (Paris 16e, 2024) fuses California, Japan, and Blade Runner references into a complete rebranding. Le Belvédère (Crillon-le-Brave, 2024) situates architecture inside a Provençal landscape. Each project begins with the same question: what story does this space tell?
His stated influences run to Frank Lloyd Wright's engagement with nature, John Lautner's wood structures, and a long list of films, Lawrence of Arabia among the first he cites. The aesthetic that emerges is soft and nostalgic, referencing cinema and literature without quoting either directly. AD Germany named him among its 20 most promising talents in 2024.
Rudy Guénaire's work is available on Monde Singulier, where his custom furniture and lighting objects offer a way into that cinematic sensibility at the object scale.
