The story
The Manhattan Armchair (Curved Backrest) is a low, wide-seated chair designed by Girodroux & Delpy for the Manhattan collection, created exclusively for Monde Singulier.
Its silhouette is anchored by an asymmetrical wooden base: one side carries a rectangular block support, the other a taller vertical element, giving the chair an off-kilter structural logic that reads as sculptural rather than accidental. The seat and backrest are upholstered in off-white textured textile, their soft, rounded forms settling into the wooden frame with deliberate looseness.
The upholstery is a woven textile with visible texture, close in tone to the cream boucle used across the Manhattan collection. The base is solid wood with a rough-hewn surface, its dark brown grain exposed. The asymmetry of the support structure is a consistent feature across the Manhattan seating range, where each piece carries a slightly different articulation of the same formal vocabulary.
Designed by Girodroux & Delpy as part of the Manhattan collection, this armchair draws on the studio's dialogue between architectural rigour and the expressiveness of hand-worked material.
About Girodroux & Delpy
Laure Girodroux and Louis-Henri Delpy established their Paris studio in 2013, working across interior architecture and furniture design. Their practice sits at the intersection of architectural rigour and artisanal precision, drawing from the decorative arts of the 1950s to 1980s, from Jean Royere's biomorphic forms to Andree Putman's sober modernism.
The duo's approach refuses the decorative for its own sake. Each project, whether a private residence or a bespoke furniture commission, is framed as a question: how much can be pared back before the essential disappears? That tension between restraint and generosity runs through every piece they sign.
French savoir-faire sits at the core of the Girodroux & Delpy identity. Their collaborations with exceptional craftsmen and specialist ateliers produce work that is entirely sur-mesure, built around the specific demands of each space and client. The result is an interior language that is subtle without being anonymous.
The studio has expanded its practice to the United States and Qatar, where it continues to represent a particular idea of French interior design: neither historicist nor gratuitously contemporary, but precisely calibrated to the moment.
At Monde Singulier, Girodroux & Delpy are represented by the Manhattan collection, a suite of fifteen seating and table pieces created exclusively for the marketplace. The collection pairs hand-carved solid wood bases, their surfaces deliberately rough-hewn to evoke primal sculptural traditions, with cream boucle upholstery. The Manhattan Curved Sofa and the Manhattan Console are among the collection's most distinctive pieces.
