Project financed and supported by the association Granit and Pierres du Sidobre in the department of Tarn. Under the supervision of Jérôme Tarbouriech.

This project aims to enhance the vernacular materials of the Tarn, specifically Sidobre, a French mountainous region located south of the Massif Central, a granitic territory of 15.3 km in length with a maximum width of 6.6 km.

Magma and lava come Granite hence its name of rock "plutonic" as a reminder of the pagan God who reigned over the unknown of the underworld. This tripod is thanks to the balance of a key that maliciously recalls the "cùn" (in Occitan and "corner" in French), the tool with which the granitiers remove the stone to the mountain. Far from separating, here the tool, stylized in a beautiful chrome element, gathers and participates in the creation of the piece of furniture.

It is assured of its stability by a "carrot" of granite that takes us with it to the depths of our planet, the origin of this material.
