TAVLA COFFEE TABLE
Designed By Pool Studio
Tavla inspiration comes from the personal story of Léa, who’s part Iranian, and has been admiring the work on backgammon tables, Tavla being the Iranian word for backgammon.
Tavla table is a modern take on the traditional technique of marquetry: Pool studio created a strong and graphic design using the most classical technique.
They used two different colors of walnut wood to create a contrasted pattern on the tabletop.

LÉA PADOVANI & SÉBASTIEN KIEFFER
Pool stands out with a unique and total field of possibilities. Design, graphics, artistic direction and interior design, everything is a medium of expression.
A MULTIDISCIPLINARY DUO
Pool is a creative studio based in Paris founded in 2011 by Léa Padovani and Sébastien Kieffer. Following different paths, Pool stands out with a unique and total field of possibilities. Design, graphics, artistic direction and interior design, everything is a medium of expression.
They founded their studio right after they were brought to light at the Nouvelle Vague exhibition in Milan in 2011. Léa Padovani and Sébastien Kieffer have been dialoguing ever since on the way personal influences and their environment inspire their projects.
From their first collaboration with Petite Friture in 2014 with ISO-A and ISO-B, a collection of two side tables, their savoir-faire is fine-homed in the detail and the finishes of the objects they design. Different facets nourish and stimulate the multidisciplinary reflection initiated around the artisanal collaboration present at every step of the realization of a project.
GEOMETRY AND VOLUME
Pool’s creations could come together within a large geometric composition of which they would have been the silent partners. Their vocabulary is there where the radical volumes and shapes and colours collide, affirming their appetite for graphic design. It’s this skill as assemblers and colourists we also find in the Grid modular sofa collection, where colours, shapes and fabrics assemble together in aid of an obvious geometrical combination.
The extending table Tavla collection follows on this approach. Unveiled in October 2019 and marked with the BAUHAUS aesthetic, it founds its inspiration in the Backgammon’s game pattern, which marquetry work stands out by its complexity and singularity.
