The Arcade Bench is a low wooden bench with a cream textile cushion and solid wood legs. The left and right legs differ: on the outer face of one, vertical arched grooves are carved into the wood, marking it with the Arcade collection's signature detail.
The bench sits close to the ground, with two thick rectangular legs supporting a horizontal frame. The cushion is upholstered in a light cream fabric with a subtle geometric pattern woven into the surface. It lays flat on the frame without overhang, clean and simple in outline.
The arched groove detail on the outer face of the leg is the only ornamental gesture. Carved directly into solid wood, it references the arcade form that connects all pieces in the collection without making the bench read as decorative.
Yellen Boisseau designed the Arcade collection and presented it at Paris Design Week Factory 2025. A graduate of the Penninghen school of interior architecture, she works between Paris and Barcelona on high-end residential interiors. The bench is available through Monde Singulier.

About
Yellen Boisseau
Yellen Boisseau graduated from the Penninghen School of Interior Architecture in Paris in 2021. She has since maintained a practice split between Paris and Barcelona, taking residential commissions in high-end interiors while developing furniture and objects in parallel.
At Penninghen, she trained under a programme that treats interior architecture as fundamentally spatial. That discipline runs through her furniture work. A chair or table is resolved the way a room is resolved: from the structural logic outward, with material choice following function rather than preceding it.
Natural materials are non-negotiable in her practice. Wood, stone, and textile each impose their own constraints, and she works within them. The aesthetic that results reads as direct — specific to the object rather than borrowed from a style.
At Paris Design Week Factory 2025, Boisseau presented her debut furniture collection. The response confirmed what her residential commissions had suggested: a formal clarity and material sensibility that held up against more experienced designers. For a first furniture collection, the identity was settled in a way that usually takes years to arrive at.
Her residential studio remains active in Paris and Barcelona. Her current furniture work is available on Monde Singulier.
