The Tibur Lounge is a monolithic lounge chair from Studio Paolo Ferrari's Tibur Collection, sculpted from a single block of light beige travertine.
The chair sits low, its backrest and seat forming one unbroken stone mass. Thick cylindrical arms and legs curve outward from the main body without interruption, eliminating any joint between elements. Rounded edges soften the visual weight of the material: the form reads as sculpture before it reads as seating. The natural porous surface varies from piece to piece, with shallow cavities, warm gradations from cream to gold, and the stone's own geological markings preserved intact.
Travertine is the defining material of the Tibur Collection. Studio Paolo Ferrari applies it consistently across the lounge chair, sofa, and coffee table, creating a family of forms that share geological origin rather than decorative convention. This material discipline reflects a philosophy the studio developed through hospitality interior commissions, from the Long Bar at Raffles Boston to residential work at Forma Tower in Toronto.

About
Studio Paolo Ferrari
Studio Paolo Ferrari is a Toronto-based interior design practice founded in 2016 by Paolo Ferrari. Before establishing the studio, Ferrari served as Design Director at Yabu Pushelberg for six years, building technical depth in luxury hospitality projects across North America and Europe.
The studio's approach treats each commission as a contained world. Ferrari draws on cinema, art, and architecture as structural references, particularly the spatial storytelling of Kubrick and Lynch, the material rigor of Donald Judd, and the formal precision of Alvar Aalto. This framing informs the studio's defining move: pairing materials and aesthetics from different eras until the space holds genuine tension. The Secret Room at Five Palm Jumeirah in Dubai, with fresco-like walls against a futuristic bar volume, is one of the more cited examples. The Long Bar & Terrace at Raffles Boston won the AHEAD Americas Award in 2024.
Active globally, the studio works in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, with clients including Raffles, Four Seasons, Sanlorenzo Yachts, Red Sea Global, Auberge Resorts, 1 Hotels, Holt Renfrew, and Poltrona Frau. Boutique Design named Studio Paolo Ferrari its 2025 Designer of the Year.
Alongside the studio, Ferrari founded Editions Paolo Ferrari in 2016, a handcrafted furniture collection produced in Canada. Each edition is a conceptually unified body of objects at the junction of sculpture and function. Pieces from the Editions Paolo Ferrari collection are available on Monde Singulier.
