Maison Pouenat’s new Cosmo collection brings architectural furniture into sharp focus. Designed by Kim Haddou and Florent Dufourcq, the series moves fluidly between bookcase, chair, and coffee table, each piece defined by precision and play. The larger collection also includes lighting and mirrored works, expanding the same vocabulary across multiple typologies.

The bookcase anchors the collection. Its stainless-steel framework of arcs and spheres supports glass shelving that transforms objects into part of the composition itself. The chair takes another approach: metal cablework rendered like jewelry, forming a frame that balances ornament with restraint. The coffee table introduces another perspective, a slab of textured glass floating above a nickel-plated aluminum base. Lighting fixtures and mirrored panels extend these gestures further, adding reflection and luminosity to the collection’s architectural rhythm.

Materiality drives the story. Metal brings rigor and weight, while glass offsets with transparency and lightness. Each piece is engineered to perform as furniture but reads equally as installation. The approach resonates with current interest in hybrid furnishings for hospitality and retail spaces. Like Qeeboo’s Koibuchi Bookcase, the Cosmo series demonstrates how shelving and seating can blur into spatial systems.

Haddou and Dufourcq draw from modernist architecture while layering in softness and detail. With Cosmo, Maison Pouenat shows how architectural furniture can command space with clarity and character, extending its reach into lighting and mirrored surfaces that underscore the collection’s versatility and presence.
