The Arcade Stool is a compact round seat with a fabric-upholstered top and a cylindrical solid wood base. Its proportions sit closer to an accent object than a purely functional piece.
The base is built from warm medium-brown wood, shaped as a cylinder and defined by vertical arched cutouts that repeat around its circumference. These cutouts, the defining motif of the Arcade collection, give the structure visual openness without thinning the material. The top is upholstered in a light beige fabric with a slightly textured surface, fitted flush against the wood.
The Arcade collection was designed by Yellen Boisseau, a Paris and Barcelona-based interior architect trained at the Penninghen school. Presented at Paris Design Week Factory 2025, the collection applies the same architectural vocabulary across all its pieces: stone, natural wood, and the recurring arched form that runs through each design. The stool carries that vocabulary in a compact, placement-flexible format.

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.
