EQUINOXE - wood and metal buffet

ÉQUINOXE, buffet design in wood and metal for Mobilier de France by Joly Design in 2021.

The EQUINOXE buffet

The EQUINOXE furniture collection draws inspiration from the world of contemporary chalets, where raw materials meet refined design language. It evokes the image of stacked logs, the warmth of wood, and the ambiance of a forest retreat—while integrating a painted metal structure that adds a subtle, elegant industrial edge. This piece forms a tangible connection between nature and modernity.

Light and shadow play

EQUINOXE collection embodies a striking interplay between organic texture and industrial precision. Sculptural wooden logs appear to interlace and stack in a pattern reminiscent of traditional woodpiles. This powerful visual is framed by a graphic painted metal shell that enhances the natural richness of the oak.

An integrated front-facing light accentuates the volume and casts dynamic shadows throughout the day—a subtle nod to the equinox, that fleeting balance between day and night. The contrast between the warmth of the wood and the coolness of the metal gives the piece a bold and singular identity.
