About the Item

The Vaisseau Storage Bench carries the Art Deco sensibility of material quality and formal discipline in a storage form. The exterior is entirely in Fine Hammered Brass metal, the profile curved inward at the waist and flared at the top and base. The seam lines and flush-set nail heads along every panel edge are the only surface detail; in Fine Hammered Brass, they provide enough. The lid opens from the top to a teak-lined interior with a removable inset tray. The piece sits at 17 inches, the right height for a bench or an ottoman. The wood structure is built to the hourglass profile before Fine Hammered Brass metal sheets are pattern-cut and fitted by hand. The compound curves of the sides, narrowing at the waist and widening at each end, require careful section-by-section fitting, each sheet secured with flush-set nails and worked to its final surface quality. The lid is separately hinged. Interior: full-depth teak lining. Measures 36 by 16 by 17 inches. Functions as a storage bench, blanket box, ottoman, or accent chest. Works at the foot of a bed, in an entry, or in a living room. Available in all twelve standard finishes. Custom sizing available. Made entirely to order. Designed by Paul Mathieu for Stephanie Odegard Collection. The Vaisseau Bench derives from the traditional metal-clad storage furniture of India, which Paul Mathieu encountered and was inspired by during his work with Stephanie Odegard. The curvaceous hourglass profile is the designer's interpretation of that tradition, given the formal language of the Louise series. 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 Brass 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.
