TIPTOE & Cécile
“Home is a refuge for me, so decoration is essential for me to feel good. I choose the objects around me with care; they always evoke something personal.”
You probably know Cécile if you’re part of our network of professional clients. In charge of sales administration at TIPTOE, she brings sunny energy to the office! And to her home too, thanks to a few vintage objects, TIPTOE pieces, and floral wallpaper. Welcome to Cécile’s home!
First of all, could you introduce yourself?
My name is Cécile, and I live between Paris and Granville in Normandy. I’ve always been passionate about decoration and architecture!
What is your role at TIPTOE?
I handle sales administration for professional clients.
What does TIPTOE mean to you?
A furniture brand that promotes values such as sustainability and European manufacturing, which I care deeply about.
Do you have an anecdote or a fond memory to share with us since you arrived?
I’m lucky to share my office with the team that designs our products. I love it when prototypes arrive at the office and we’re asked to play testers!
“Is the sofa soft enough?”, “Do we prefer Yellow Naples or Sunflower yellow?” 🙂
What is your relationship with decoration, and what does your home say about you?
Home is a refuge for me, so decoration is essential for me to feel good. I choose the objects around me with care; they always evoke something personal. Color is important too; I couldn’t live in a white, minimalist interior!
What is the TIPTOE piece to have at home, in your opinion?
The SSD chair, because it blends well with other furniture styles! There’s also the New Modern table. I really like the understated line of the base, especially when it contrasts with the tabletop. My favorite combo is the recycled plastic tabletop with Rosemary green legs; I’d love to have one in my home soon!
An inspiring IG page to share with us?

She is an architect and designer. I appreciate the elegance of the pieces she creates, and I find the color combinations she suggests inspiring.
A great Parisian spot to recommend?
The restaurant Les Résistants (@les_resistants) on Rue du Château d’Eau, where I love to eat. They champion small-scale farming, and you eat from plates by Clémentine Halberstadt (@clementine.halberstadt), whose studio is in Granville!
