Designed by Antoine Grulier and crafted by 13Desserts, Byblos is a versatile aluminium piece that seamlessly blends functionality and aesthetics. Serving as a side table, bedside table and stool all in one, its minimalist curves and striking colour contrasts create an abstract, modernist-inspired pattern. Comprising three anodised aluminium components, Byblos plays with layering, offering both practical utility and artistic expression. Its adaptable design complements any interior, making it a statement piece for contemporary spaces. Each model is handcrafted in France by 13Desserts’ craftspeople, ensuring exceptional quality and attention to detail.
