Lime: weight and finesse, steel bench and console

Console Lime en acier

Steel has a weight that nothing can conceal. You feel it in your hand, in your gaze, in the silence it imposes on a room. With Lime, we wanted to do the opposite: to give it an unexpected fineness, like lightening a breath without breaking it.

Sowok, Biarritz: a project by the Blunt France design office

A line that lightens

Starting from this inescapable property of steel—its weight—Blunt France has crafted lines of surprising fineness. The Lime bench and the Lime console, two pieces from the Lime collection, are the expression of this: fine, taut, almost graphic, in Dark, Used, Silver, or Color finishes.

Serra, or steel on a landscape scale

The American sculptor Richard Serra made Corten steel his signature, a material he knew from having worked in a steel mill in his youth, as Artprice reminds us. At the Guggenheim Bilbao, his The Matter of Time series, installed in 2005, brings together eight monumental steel works, according to Metalocus. Visitors walk between large curved plates and feel the mass, without ever being crushed. The same ambition, on the scale of a living room: that weight may become balance.

A shared iron

Bilbao lies on the other side of the Pyrenees, in that Basque Country that also saw the birth of Chillida, whom we discussed in our article on Cenitz. Here, steel is a common language. Lime offers a discreet version of it: a bench, a console, and a lot of silence.

Steel furniture for the entryway, hallway, or living room

A steel console slips into tight spaces where every centimeter counts; a bench invites you to sit without being obtrusive. Their finesse makes them allies of minimalist furniture, which fits in every room. And for a project that goes beyond the collection, our design office can adapt them to your space.

The raw timeless elegance.

The Line: every piece begins with a line

Before steel, before the workshop, there is a line. A sketch on a scrap of paper, a scribbled dimension, the memory of a place. Le Trait, Blunt France's bespoke service, starts there.

La manufacture Blunt France : le geste de la main sur le mobilier

Manual intelligence: thinking by doing

We are quick to contrast the head that thinks with the hand that executes. In the workshop, every gesture says the opposite: the hand measures, compares, corrects. An ode to manual intelligence.

Dessins de la bibliothèque Loops : de face, de trois quarts et posée à plat

Loops: raw steel, hand-bent

Boxes that nest together like constructed volumes, a sheet of steel bent by hand, a piece that can be viewed standing up or lying flat. This is the story of Loops.

Lime: weight and finesse, steel bench and console

Steel has a weight that nothing can conceal. With Lime, Blunt France gives it an unexpected delicacy, somewhere between Richard Serra and the Basque Country.

The workshop, or the time of the gesture

Behind every piece, a gesture; behind every gesture, a long process: fine crafts, rare expertise, and material to touch.
