The story
The Beau Rivage Wooden Chair is a cantilevered chair by Rudy Guénaire, from the Croisière collection.
Its frame is a continuous tube of chrome-plated steel, bent into a U form and cantilevered so the seat is held in tension without rear legs. The steel traces a closed circuit: rising at the front, curving back to form the backrest, and descending again to the floor. The seat is a curved wooden panel in stained ash, its profile shaped to accommodate the body without additional cushioning.
The ash is finished in a deep reddish-brown stain that contrasts with the brightness of the chrome. The material is present as both structure and surface, no upholstery interposed between the sitter and the wood.
The Beau Rivage Wooden Chair occupies the same formal ground as the Upholstered version, both drawing from the Bauhaus cantilever vocabulary defined by Marcel Breuer and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in the 1920s. For the Croisière collection, Rudy Guénaire applies this reference without nostalgic distance, making chairs that function in contemporary residential and hospitality spaces on their own terms.
About Rudy Guénaire
Rudy Guénaire draws everything by hand. No 3D software, no renderings, just pencil on paper, from floor plans to furniture to napkin holders. It is the most legible fact about how he works, and it shapes what his spaces feel like: particular, considered, resistant to the generic.
He came to design sideways. A graduate of HEC, he co-founded PNY (Paris New York) in 2012 as a restaurateur, and it was through building out successive PNY locations across Paris, Lyon, Strasbourg, and Bordeaux that he discovered a talent for interior design. Working alongside architects CUT and Bernard Dubois sharpened that instinct further. In 2021, he formalized the practice as Studio Night Flight, a name taken from Saint-Exupéry.
