Jean Jullien Created a Book Stool Sculpture With Case Studyo
Each iteration is handmade in Belgium and limited to an edition of 12.
To coincide with his recent collaboration with Sarah Andelman and Phamily First, French artist Jean Jullien partnered up again with the team at Case Studyo to release a new beach wood stool called TOME. The release is part of the “Mise en Page” collection at the Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche department store in Paris, which includes a suite of tableware, ceramics and objects adorned with Jullien’s whimsical imprint.
TOME comes in two iterations, the first, depicting a book half-opened on its side with another closed on top; while the second features an open book laying suspended on its pages, while the other lay closed for people to sit on. “From the weighty tomes of classic literature to beloved childhood stories, this edition [pays] homage to the diverse array of books that helped shape Jullien’s unique visual language,” wrote Case Studyo in a statement.
As an edition of 12 (plus 12 APs), TOME is crafted in beach wood, which is finished with acrylic and a silkscreen layer containing Jullien’s artwork. Handmade in Belgium, the hybrid stool-sculptures size at 15.7 x 11.8 x 15.7 inches and are available to purchase at Case Studyo.
