I am Poblek.
In Brittany I opened my eyes to your restless world. You sometimes ruffle my feathers by moving me here and there but, after all, you help me to look, always a step aside.
This stool brings together for its design several Breton craftsmen around living materials from French companies committed to sustainable economy and heritage conservation.
The cabinetmaker Sabrina Rapp elaborated and manufactured a solid and discreet pine frame. Then it is the upholsterer Stéphane Poissel who dressed the structure to guarantee a comfortable seating and make this stool a functional and pleasant seat. For its covering, we chose a 100% pure merino wool produced by a company with the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (EPV) label. Finally the look of Poblek opens with two pieces of needlework embroidered by Céline le Belz, French craftsperson of the year.
Poblek means in Breton what is popular and lively. The creation of Poblek awakens this word: popular, Poblek is in its form. Animated, it is by you and by those who created it.

A multidisciplinary creative agency founded by Isabelle Daëron in 2018, Studio Idaë arose from a reflection on the use of natural flows — water, air, light — in public space.
The Studio has, ever since, developed an approach based on research and education, focusing on the urban, environmental and societal challenges of the ecological transition.
Driven by a poetical & committed team of designers, Studio Idaë applies its refined, assertive graphic signature to projects of various scales. From urban devices to mediation objects and supports, or scenography, the agency’s protean contributions always strive at others — their needs, their desires, and their evolution.
The agency operates within a network of local companies and collaborates with dedicated craftspeople to adapt to the specific characteristics of each territory. Together, they work towards the most appropriate and relevant response — between narration and mediation.
Pauline Avrillon, product designer graduated from École Boulle joined the studio in 2017, and works on urban design projects. Angèle Fourteau, product designer graduated from ECAL works on set design projects since 2022. Eléna Hervé Caro joined the team in 2023 as office manager.
