Le canapé Steeve d'occasion, dessiné par Jean-Marie Massaud pour Arper, explore l’idée d’un confort contenu, discret, pensé pour s’intégrer avec naturel dans des environnements variés. Sa silhouette compacte, définie par des lignes nettes et continues, lui confère une présence équilibrée, entre sobriété formelle et douceur des volumes. Sa particularité réside dans l’union fluide entre la structure, l’assise et le dossier : aucune rupture visuelle, aucun excès. L’ensemble forme un volume cohérent, aux proportions justes, où chaque élément semble coulé dans le même geste. Cette approche monobloc, alliée à un rembourrage maîtrisé et à un choix de revêtements riches et nuancés, fait de Steeve une pièce polyvalente, à la fois élégante et accueillante. Le canapé Steeve d'occasion s’adapte aux espaces privés comme aux lieux collectifs — bureaux, zones d’attente, espaces de convivialité. Il y introduit une atmosphère calme, ordonnée, où le confort se met au service de la clarté de l’espace.
Born in Toulouse, Jean-Marie Massaud graduated from ENSCI in 1990. From his earliest creations, the designer has worked in a quest for synthesis, reduction and lightness. It covers the different aspects of design, from furniture to industrial products and equipment. In 2000, he created Studio Massaud and extended his activities to architecture and development strategy. He works with clients as varied as B&B Italia, Poliform and MDF, as well as brands such as Lancôme and Renault. Placing people and their natural environment at the heart of his creations, this inventor with no limits adopts a committed and political approach and strives to make each project a life experience and an economic scenario that reconciles desire and responsibility. In the world of furniture, Jean-Marie Massaud collaborated with MDF to create the Flow seating collection. He is also working with the Emu brand on the Heaven collection of outdoor furniture.
