The story
The Manhattan Bench is a low, elongated seating piece designed by Girodroux & Delpy for the Manhattan collection, created exclusively for Monde Singulier.
Its form is composed of a central cushion flanked by two smaller, curved end cushions, all in off-white textured textile. The main cushion extends the full width of the bench, its edges slightly rounded. Below, two substantial block-like supports of dark brown solid wood carry the bench with a quiet mass, their grain visible and unmasked.
The textile upholstery is woven with a subtle texture, consistent with the cream and off-white materials used across the Manhattan collection. The wooden blocks are solid and dense, cut with a flat base and a beveled top edge, their grain running horizontally across each support.
Part of the Manhattan collection by Girodroux & Delpy, the Bench offers a versatile seating and accent form. Its low profile and elongated silhouette suit placement at the foot of a bed, along a console, or as an independent element in a seating group. The piece belongs to the same material dialogue between soft textile and heavy wood that defines the Manhattan range.
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.
