by Thomas Moisan

The Rodez Ottoman is a square seating piece built from two stacked black velvet cushions and a vertical ribbed metal element. The cushions are upholstered in velvet, edges rounded; the metal insert, ribbed and dark, runs vertically between the two volumes. The stacking logic follows the same register system that structures the other Rodez pieces: volumes placed in deliberate relation rather than fused.
Velvet absorbs light where the metal reflects it. The material contrast is visible but understated: two different surfaces held together by the shared black of the palette. The ottoman sits on a flat dark base that keeps the profile low and anchored.
Material: black velvet upholstery, ribbed metal accent, dark flat base.
From the Rodez collection by Thomas Moisan, the Ottoman pairs with the Rodez Armchair. Both are part of a six-piece monochrome series available through Monde Singulier.

About
Thomas Moisan
Thomas Moisan is a Paris-based designer whose practice bridges architecture and craft. Born in Brittany, he trained at the École supérieure d'Art et Design de Saint-Étienne and moved to Paris in 2016, where he developed his eye through work with Tristan Auer, Studio KO, and Liaigre.
His furniture treats materials as the primary argument. Working in limited editions with master artisans, Moisan designs tables, benches, and consoles in fine wood and metal, stripping forms to their structural logic so that noble materials carry the whole weight. "The unity of material gives this range of furniture a minimalist and robust appearance," noted Damn Magazine. Every proportion and texture is worked out in close dialogue with craftspeople who meet the demands of his ascetic approach.
Each collection explores this logic with a different material vocabulary. The Perenne collection (10 pieces) is the most declarative statement: monolithic, raw, and free of ornament. Delhi (8 pieces), Calyon (7 pieces), and Rodez (6 pieces) trace the same sculptural territory with distinct proportions and finishes.
Thomas Moisan's collectible design furniture is available on Monde Singulier, each piece produced in a strictly limited edition.
