About the Item

The Vaisseau Storage Bench is a storage box that also functions as a seat, an ottoman, and a sculptural object. The form is curvaceous: the sides curve inward at the waist and flare outward at the top and base, giving the piece the distinctive hourglass profile that Paul Mathieu drew from the tradition of metal-clad furniture he encountered in India. The entire exterior is clad in Fine Hammered Antiqued White Bronze metal, and the lid opens from the top to reveal a teak-lined interior with a removable inset tray. The wooden structure is built to the curved profile before pattern-makers cut the Fine Hammered Antiqued White Bronze metal sheets that will cover each surface. The compound curves of the sides require careful fitting; the metal is shaped to follow the inward sweep at the waist and the outward flare at the top and base without buckling. Once fitted, the metal is secured with flush-set nails and worked to its final surface character. The interior is lined with teak and the lid is hinged for smooth opening. The Vaisseau Bench measures 36 inches wide, 16 inches deep, and 17 inches tall. It functions as a storage bench, blanket box, ottoman, or accent piece at the foot of a bed, in an entry hall, or in a living room. The lid provides access to the full interior. Available in all twelve standard finishes across fine hammered and smooth surfaces. Custom sizing available. Made entirely to order. Designed by Paul Mathieu for Stephanie Odegard Collection. Paul Mathieu was inspired by the traditional metal-clad furniture he encountered in India: storage forms that used metal not just as decoration but as the primary surface material. The Vaisseau Bench takes that tradition and gives it the curvaceous formal language of the Louise series, the same hourglass profile that distinguishes it from every other storage bench in its category. Produced in Udaipur. Made to order, each piece may show slight variations that are a natural result of handmade metal-clad production. The Fine Hammered Antiqued White Bronze surface will gradually mellow in tone over time, which is part of the material's natural character. The images shown in this listing may be photographed in different lighting conditions or may include 3D illustrations created to represent the available finishes. We warmly encourage customers to request an individual sample or a complete sample set of all twelve finishes to experience the surface, tone, and character firsthand. Please note that moisture in the air, seasonal climate shifts, and the natural movement of wood over time may cause the metal surface to develop slight wrinkles or occasional bubbling. We use well-seasoned reclaimed teak and high-quality marine-grade MDF wherever technically possible to minimise these natural effects, but complete stability of metal cannot be guaranteed. All smooth finishes will show subtle tool marks. These are not defects but a natural and unavoidable result of hand-working and hand-polishing metal sheets. Our hammered finishes are recommended where a more textured, forgiving surface is preferred. None of our metal-clad pieces are sealed with a permanent protective coating. This allows the metal to age naturally and beautifully over time. We polish every piece carefully before packing. A clear PU coat can be applied on request. The antiqued white bronze finish will react with natural elements the fastest in the beginning, but it too will stop reacting and settle into a stable state like copper after 6-12 months. Since it is already antiqued and looks intentionally tarnished, this early reaction does not change the overall appearance. In that way, this surface is the most forgiving. The antiqued white bronze finish is done by applying an acidic chemical over the white bronze to recreate a natural patination. Like the aging of silver, copper, or brass, the final result and colour uniformity cannot be guaranteed. The goal of this finish is to achieve rainbow-like tones with dull, shiny, cloudy, and lightly streaked patches to give an illusion of antiquing. As a default practice, we offer a protective wipe-on PU coat only on this finish. If a designer prefers the natural, uncoated aging, we can leave it untreated just like the other finishes. A PU coat helps keep the surface looking the same as when shipped, but it does not create a fully uniform patina; natural variation will always remain part of this finish.
