Inspired by the work of François Arnal in the 1970s, who envisioned a structural, simple, and modular element, the Tiptoe table leg embodies a distinctive approach to design.

Today, over 400,000 table legs have been adopted around the world. A testament to the product’s ability to naturally and sustainably blend into all kinds of interiors, from homes to professional spaces.

To mark its 10-year anniversary, Tiptoe has chosen to return to its origins by inviting ten creators to reinterpret this founding product in their own way. A tribute to an object that has become emblematic, and a reminder that good design is built to last and never ceases to inspire.

Wendy Andreu is a designer and craftswoman driven by a sensitive exploration of materials. Through experimentation, she reveals forms that she transforms into functional products, thus translating her ideas into tangible proposals. Her work aims to create open connections between material, space, and user.

The « ToeTip » coffee table uses the 43 cm Tiptoe leg upside down to envision a new function for the clamp. Made of powder-coated steel, it combines functionality and inventiveness. A piece that fully reflects Wendy Andreu’s approach, where material experimentation and attention to context are just as important as the concept itself.

Unique piece, 5000€.

Materials: Powder-coated steel
Dimensions: 170cm × 93cm × 46cm

Architect and designer Sophie Dries shapes a singular universe nourished by contemporary art, history, and noble materials. Inspired as much by Arte Povera as by the Enlightenment era, her work blends artistic sensitivity with architectural precision.

The « Songoe » desk echoes the sculptural spirit of the original « Songye » piece, part of the Mobilier national collection. Its corten steel legs, reimagined in a totemic form, are attached using the studio’s signature clamp system. Handcrafted in France by Atelier Moore, this piece embodies a dialogue between craftsmanship and contemporary modularity.

Unique piece, 5000€.

Materials: Corten steel and solid oak
Dimensions: 150 x 80 cm

Rudy Guénaire is a designer and interior architect who creates sensitive spaces at the crossroads of poetry, craftsmanship, and a rich visual culture. After designing the interiors of his PNY restaurants, he developed a distinctive practice within his own studio.

« Palm » pays tribute to American modernism—simple, soft, and always a little eccentric. Its powder-coated steel base supports a frosted glass top in a graphic, airy composition. A balanced piece, where formal rigor meets a sense of creative freedom.

Unique piece, 3000€.

Materials: powder-coated steel and frosted glass
Dimensions: 54 cm x 45 cm x 55 cm

Kann is a studio founded by Houssam Kanaan and Meghedi Simonian, blending artisanal craftsmanship with modern design. By overseeing the entire production process, the duo has developed a clear, functional, and refined design language.

With « VV », they revisit the Tiptoe table leg through a lens of functional simplicity. Two V-shaped structures naturally serve as racks for vinyl records, books, or magazines. The upper surface holds everyday objects. A visual, purposeful piece—clear-cut and intuitive.

Unique piece, 3000€.

Materials: Brushed stainless steel
Dimensions: 150 cm x 35 cm x 43 cm

Jean-Michel Wilmotte is a French architect and designer renowned for his clean and timeless style. Leading his firm since 1975, he has developed a cross-disciplinary approach spanning architecture, urban planning, and product design, with particular attention to detail and French craftsmanship.

With the pieces « Serre-livres and Serre-verres », Wilmotte reinterprets the clamp mechanism and Tiptoe’s «BRACKET» system to create objects that are discreet yet expressive. Made of powder-coated steel, these pieces fit onto a shelf, subtly extending an architectural language into everyday rituals.

To mark its 10-year anniversary, Tiptoe is presenting ten unique pieces for sale, with proceeds going to Toit à Moi, a long-standing partner of the studio. Since 2007, Toit à Moi has been working to help homeless people by offering comprehensive support based on housing, social assistance and rebuilding human connections. This initiative is in line with Tiptoe’s commitment to solidarity and demonstrates its desire to support initiatives with a strong social impact.

On its 10-year anniversary, Tiptoe is also celebrating a history rich in innovation. Through its creations, the studio shares its passion for modern, vibrant design, with each new collection reflecting a successful creative challenge: simple, well-designed pieces with a bold, timeless style. Since its inception, Tiptoe has chosen to surround itself with partners of excellence, favouring European production that embodies its products. This requirement is deeply rooted in the family history of Matthieu Bourgeaux, the co-founder, whose precision machining workshop in Haute-Savoie has been working with Tiptoe for nearly ten years.
