mycelium textiles and reclaimed wood anchor scenarii édition’s debut at design miami 2025

scenarii édition debuts furniture series at design miami 2025

At Design Miami’s 20th edition, Paris-based architects and designers Berenice Curt and Caroline Duncan introduce the first chapter of Scenarii Édition, a new curatorial line extending their ongoing investigations within Berenice Curt Architecture. Presented in collaboration with The Spaceless Gallery, the debut features two pieces, the Tripodal chair and the Torii table. Both works rely on hand-polished stainless-steel frameworks, setting the stage for material experiments ranging from reclaimed wood to mycelium-grown textiles.

Scenarii Édition positions collectible design as a site for rethinking material life cycles. The studio’s method is grounded in the belief that leftover, irregular, or undervalued materials carry narrative weight. Throughout the debut collection, stainless steel becomes a stabilizing armature that welcomes evolving surface treatments, wood, stone, biomaterials, each chosen for its imperfections rather than despite them. This perspective, the designers note, transforms fragments into protagonists, allowing form to emerge through processes of elevation rather than erasure.

the tripodal chair: biomaterial meets hand-woven craft

The Tripodal chair, also available as an armchair, anchors its identity in a converging three-leg geometry, a polished stainless-steel structure conceived as a host for multiple future upholsteries and textures. For the special Design Miami edition with The Spaceless Gallery, Curt & Duncan pair the frame with Reishi, a mycelium-grown material developed by MycoWorks. 

This iterative, manual process sets up a dialogue between technological innovation and human gesture. The biomaterial’s softness contrasts with the precision of the steel, while the woven pattern reveals the value embedded in what would typically be discarded. In its Design Miami form, the Tripodal chair becomes an emblem for Scenarii Édition’s ethos. It’s sculptural yet adaptable, engineered yet mutable, and grounded in a belief that responsible fabrication can generate new aesthetic languages.

the torii table: reclaimed wood and polished steel

If the chair articulates the line’s material openness, the Torii table establishes its spatial vocabulary. Originally conceived around the reuse of marble fragments, the piece evolves at Design Miami into a composition combining a reflective stainless-steel frame with the warmth of walnut. The tabletop is constructed from reassembled slats cut from collected offcuts, forming a linear grain that reads as both pattern and process, the repetition of remnants producing a new visual continuity.

Cross-shaped legs give the table structural stability and sculptural clarity. Meanwhile, the polished steel captures ambient light, refracting it across the table’s surface and subtly animating its presence in space. Produced in a limited series, each Torii table bears the distinct signatures of its materials, reinforcing the edition’s attention to resource awareness and artisanal precision.
