Marie Dining Chair
Marie is a versatile dining chair that embodies mid-century charm with a modern twist. Crafted with slim legs made of polished brass, a plush round cushion upholstered in velvety velvet, and a circular backrest, it exudes sophistication without armrests, making it ideal for casual settings like bars or restaurants.
When it comes to interior design, Humbert & Poyet have been instrumental in transforming spaces like Beefbar Paris, located near the iconic Champs-Elysées. Originally housed in the historic Fermette Marbeuf building, the team discovered a room in pure Art Nouveau style but severely damaged. This inspired them to restore the space meticulously, enlisting skilled artisans to bring it back to life. The result is a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity, where Art Nouveau aesthetics meet industrial-inspired elements.
The design philosophy emphasizes contrasts—old meets new, simplicity meets eccentricity—resulting in a cozy yet chic brasserie atmosphere. The restored Art Nouveau details coexist beautifully with the sleek industrial ceiling and minimalist wooden accents, creating an inviting ambiance.
In another hospitality project, Humbert & Poyet were tasked with designing the 171 rooms at The Hoxton Paris. Drawing inspiration from classic Parisian charm and the retro vibe of 1950s industrial workshops, the design reflects a dialogue between different eras. Each bathroom is treated as an independent unit—a multifunctional box framed by metalwork that can double as a wardrobe or desk. As the decorators note, "The room decor celebrates French craftsmanship from two pivotal periods in Parisian history—the late 19th century and the 1950s."
