Designing a unique gesture
​
Jalou is a delicate console & dressing table for the Danish furniture design brand Bolia.com, with a special slatted wood technique that brings together the subtle falling of textile and the noble touch of wood.
​
We were highly inspired by bringing suppleness to a solid material, so we connected wooden slats through a fabric layer in order to create a drapery effect out of an otherwise stiff material.
Design: Studio Vale + Clementine Caurier
Year: 2019
Thanks to this self-developed slatted wood system, Jalou offers softness in its handling.
This is integrated into an everyday object that makes the daily ritual more exclusive. Being able to own an exclusive gesture is much more unique than owning material goods.

By not having feet, it does not limit you on how to hang it, you can hang it at desk height or console height.
