Umbra - Peonia Armchair

Founded in Paris in 2008 by Raphaël Le Berre and Thomas Vevaud, graduates of the École Camondo, Le Berre Vevaud works across luxury residential architecture: apartments and private mansions in Paris and London, vacation homes in Greece.

The firm's formal language draws from two sources that rarely appear together: the geometric rigour of Art Deco and the chromatic provocation of the Memphis movement. Rather than resolving the tension between them, Le Berre Vevaud builds on it, producing interiors of solid form, exceptional materials, and atmosphere that accumulates rather than announces.

Collaboration with French artisans recognized as Entreprises du Patrimoine Vivant runs through every project. For Le Berre Vevaud, this network is not a finishing touch but a technical foundation, embedding centuries of specialized knowledge into each surface and material choice.

In October 2021, the studio opened a gallery in the Carré Rive Gauche (20 rue de Verneuil, Paris), presenting furniture conceived for their own interiors and available to a wider audience.

AD 100-listed, Le Berre Vevaud developed the Umbra collection exclusively with Monde Singulier: a limited edition revisiting the firm's most emblematic silhouettes, including the Barth Stool and the Peonia armchair, worked in stone, noble lacquers, and precious textiles within a palette of light and shadow.
