The horizontal elements on which the grilles slide are made from HPL laminate, a material which even in very thin layers guarantees stability and strength, with a natural oak veneer in a matt lead finish. The vertical saddle-leather uprights are placed at regular intervals to give the piece of furniture rhythm and enhance the liberal effect of the grilles. Each individual grille is a painstaking piece of cabinetwork. Made of solid oak, they move along rails carved into the shelves and are furnished with plastic runners to reduce friction. The solid oak rods are cut in different thicknesses and then individually glued by hand. The sides of the structure are closed by fixed solid oak grilles. The Lloyd storage units and bookcases are available in two variants: a wall version and a freestanding version. The latter has sliding grilles on both sides (front and rear). The wall version has sliding grilles on the front only while the back, in contact with the wall, is closed by a matt black lacquered MDF panel which, on the inside, can be upholstered in saddle-leather. The Lloyd bookcases and storage units have steel feet. The exterior feet at the front have a gunmetal grey finish while the central feet, set further back, have a matt black lacquer.

Concept and Design

With the Lloyd storage units and bookcases Jean-Marie Massaud designs a system of variable geometries. Thin vertical wooden rods create light grilles that run from top to bottom on invisible horizontal rails. Each grille can be moved as desired to create sequences that are different each time. A fluctuating score of solids and voids, of light and shade. A sensual game that offers a glimpse of the contents, books and objects without fully revealing them. The most advanced technology is combined with traditional materials, wood and saddle leather, to form a solid and minimalist structure.

Designed by
Jean-Marie Massaud

Born in Toulouse in 1966, Jean-Marie Massaud graduated in 1990 from Les Ateliers, Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Création Industrielle, Paris. He began to work both in Asia and in France, finally opening his own office in Paris in 1994. Since than, he has dedicated himself to industrial and furniture design, building important relationships with brands such as Authentics, Baccarat and Magis. His collaboration with Marc Berthier and his work in the field of town planning led him towards design and architecture. He is concerned with design in various contexts, industrial products and furniture. His contextual approach centres on research into the essential, within which the individual remains the centre of attention. It is a work upheld by research into the senses, magic, and vital emotion which brings him to work with very different brands: Cassina, Poltrona Frau, Cappellini, Cacharel, Lancôme, Tronconi and Yamaha offshore.

His works have been awarded several prizes and many of his designs are nowadays on show in the design collections of the major museums worldwide: from Amsterdam, Chicago, London, Paris and Zurich: from the permanent collection of the Musée National d'Art Moderne de Paris to the permanent collections of the Museum für Gestaltung, Zürich, of The Chicago Athenaeum- Museum of Architecture and Design, of The Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam and of The Musée des arts Décoratifs, Paris.
