The story
The Whoody Stool by José Lévy is a compact seat or side surface in dark teal lacquered glass, part of the Whoody collection made with Monde Singulier.
Its form is deliberately ambiguous. The square glass top and spare proportions make it equally suited as additional seating or as a side table. That functional flexibility that reflects Lévy's interest in objects that resist easy categorization. The silhouette is clean and geometric, with a stillness that belies the material precision behind it.
What distinguishes the piece is its leg construction: polished light metal at the front, darker metal to the rear. The contrast is not incidental. This two-tone framework creates an asymmetric visual dynamic from certain angles, a characteristic move in the Whoody collection, which consistently plays light against dark, reflective against matte.
The teal lacquered glass top carries a reflective quality that shifts with the light and the viewing position. Against pale metal it reads as intensely colored; against darker surfaces it recedes into a cooler, more mineral register.
Available exclusively through Monde Singulier.
About José Lévy
José Lévy is a multidisciplinary artist who navigates fluidly between the decorative and plastic arts, infusing them with poetry and humor. Each of his creations expresses a distinctive blend of fantasy and rigor.
This project continues his broader body of work, which is characterized by a constant dialogue between French and Japanese cultures. José Lévy has maintained a close relationship with Japan since childhood, thanks to his grandparents, official suppliers of tatami mats for the Olympic Games and collectors of Japanese art. This early fascination was later reinforced through numerous collaborations with Japan, including his solo show at the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature in Paris, where he created Le Veilleur, a seven-meter paper lamp in the shape of a samurai. This emblematic work symbolizes Franco-Japanese cultural interaction and illustrates his talent for blending traditions into a contemporary language.
