Concept
The BOND family comprises a wide range of chairs, easy chairs and tables. The pieces are equally at home in a conference room, public lounge or living room. The seating furniture has the shape of a softly rounded square. Massaud wanted to create the illusion of an object that floats and moves with ease. The laminated material in the seat and back of BOND creates elasticity in the back section, which together with the rounded seat offers exquisite comfort. Its timeless design has been created to stand the test of time.
“The concept behind BOND was to create inviting furniture that has quite a low profile, yet still has a distinct attitude. Every detail has been thought through – the proportions, and the quality in the lines. BOND has nothing to prove. It is quite simply self-evident. It is everything you are,” says Jean-Marie Massaud.
Jean-Marie Massaud is one of France’s most interesting designers. Jean-Marie’s big breakthrough came at the furniture fair in Milan in 2005. He thinks design should create a spiritual sensation, physical and emotional well-being. Jean-Marie and OFFECCT have been developing the BOND range of furniture for two years, but the partnership in fact hails back to the EASY BLOCK product.
“With BOND, Jean-Marie has managed to encapsulate several of the values OFFECCT strives for in a single product. The ability to stimulate creative meetings with design that has an impact and brings out the best in people,” says Kurt Tingdal, CEO of OFFECCT.

Bond Light
Bond Light is a chair designed by Jean-Marie Massaud. The name Bond refers to the possibility to concatenate and create a friendship bond with someone. This sums up the thought behind the series. It’s simple and soft form invites people to meet. The design is minimalistic not to take focus from the individual. The elegant, modern cut and the clean form is modest yet has a self-evident attitude. The chair has the form of a softly cupped square. Massaud wanted to create the illusion of an object that is floating and that moves with ease.
“The thought behind Bond was to create an inviting piece of furniture that did not claim too much attention but still had attitude. Everything is thought through in detail- the proportions, the quality in the lines. Bond does not need to prove anything. It is simply self-evident. It is everything you are”, says Jean-Marie Massaud.

Studio Massaud
France
Since the beginning of his career (a 1990 graduate of Paris’ ENSCI-Les Ateliers, Paris Design Institute), Jean-Marie Massaud has been working on an extensive range of works, stretching from architecture to objects, from one-off project to serial ones, from macro environment down to micro contexts. Major brands such as Axor, Cassina, Christofle, Poliform, Toyota have solicited his ability to mix comfort and elegance, zeitgeist and heritage, generosity and distinction. Beyond these elegant designs, his quest for lightness – in matters of essence – synthesize three broader stakes: individual and collective fulfillment, economic and industrial efficiency, and environmental concerns. “I’m trying to find an honest, generous path with the idea that, somewhere between the hard economic data, there are users. People.” His creations, whether speculative or pragmatic, explore this imperative paradigm: reconciling pleasure with responsibility, the individual with the collective. When asked to imagine a new stadium for the city of Guadalajara, Mexico, he comes back with a never seen before cloud and volcano-shaped building, integrated in a vast urban-development program that re-unite leisure and culture, nature and urbanization, sport aficionados and local citizens. Instead of implanting a stadium, he proposed an environment. And the initial vision has proven a realistic approach: the project has come to life in July 2011. More recently, his concept car developed in partnership with Toyota, has the same objective. MEWE is a synthesis of economical and ecological concepts, integrating issues specific to each stakeholder: the user, industry, and the environment. A pioneering multiple-use platform that is a car for the people, with a body in expanded polypropylene foam: a major innovation. “When I’m working on a project, there’s always an attempt to renew the subject I’m involved in”. Another distinctive aspect of his approach.
