Inspired by the crocodile god, the Sobek Sofa by OUD deploys an evocative silhouette crossed by a golden gleam recalling the sacred Nile. The gouged wood traces subtle reliefs, a memory of scales.
This piece is part of an original collection specially created for the exhibition Le Salon des Nouveaux Ensembliers, curated by Mobilier national to celebrate the centenary of Art Deco by reimagining the décor of a French embassy today. OUD envisioned the office of an ambassador in Egypt, on the shores of the Nile, drawing from the imaginary and symbolism of millennia-old Egyptian culture and aesthetics.

OUD is an architecture and design studio based in Paris, founded by Marie-Sarah Burckel and Josselin Berteloot. The name chosen by the duo is polysemous: OUD refers simultaneously to a type of wood, a perfume essence, and a musical instrument, thus expressing the idea that material genrates emotion. OUD designs and realises private and public living spaces. Like the architects of the 1950s who inspire them — Luis Barragan, Carlo Scarpa, and Charlotte Perriand — Marie-Sarah Burckel and Josselin Berteloot design interiors down to the custom furniture. OUD does not follow trends, exploring instead the dialogue between past and present. They create places and objects that exist outside of time, giving the impression of having always been there.
