The Vaporetto to Murano Triple Bench is a three-seat banquette by Rudy Guénaire, from the Croisière collection.

The structure steps back in three distinct tiers, each hexagonal seat recessed slightly behind the one in front, so the piece reads as much as an architectural element as a piece of furniture. The integrated backrest mirrors this progression: three rolled cushions in light beige mohair velvet, layered at staggered heights behind each seat. Dark reddish-brown varnished wood builds the frame, its joints angular and unembellished.

Each backrest roll is wrapped individually in mohair velvet to maintain its tubular profile over time. The tiered construction distributes visual mass across the stepped form rather than concentrating it in a single silhouette, allowing the piece to read clearly whether placed against a wall or in open space.

The Croisière collection borrows its language from the padded interiors of ocean liners and transit spaces. The Vaporetto to Murano Triple Bench takes this vocabulary to its largest format, suited to entrance halls, residential lounges, or hospitality spaces of the kind that Rudy Guénaire's studio Night Flight designs for clients across France.

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.

The studio's work spans restaurants, residences, and bespoke furniture and lighting. Matsuri (Paris 16e, 2024) fuses California, Japan, and Blade Runner references into a complete rebranding. Le Belvédère (Crillon-le-Brave, 2024) situates architecture inside a Provençal landscape. Each project begins with the same question: what story does this space tell?

His stated influences run to Frank Lloyd Wright's engagement with nature, John Lautner's wood structures, and a long list of films, Lawrence of Arabia among the first he cites. The aesthetic that emerges is soft and nostalgic, referencing cinema and literature without quoting either directly. AD Germany named him among its 20 most promising talents in 2024.

Rudy Guénaire's work is available on Monde Singulier, where his custom furniture and lighting objects offer a way into that cinematic sensibility at the object scale.
