Gardian
A movable piece of furniture designed for occasional use and to be useful in any sort of context: at work or by a bedside, around a dining table or behind a desk. Inspired by totemic headrests from Africa, it is reduced here to its most elementary function: supporting the body in a seated position. Its design borrows from the proud head of bull herds, while its name is a direct reference to the men who keep them, the gardians of Camargue.
