Dezeen Showroom: Parisian furniture brand Tiptoe has collaborated with the Archives Yves Klein to reimagine eight of its products in the distinctive ultramarine blue popularised by French artist Yves Klein.
The limited edition Tiptoe x Klein Blue collection features bright-blue versions of Tiptoe classic – such as the company’s wall brackets and modular table legs in two sizes, as well as the round coffee table, bench and Lou stool – alongside new additions like the SSD chair and Pli shelf.
Klein developed the formula for his signature blue in the 1950s, combining ultramarine with a matte synthetic resin binder to create what he called “the most perfect expression of blue” and used across many of his works – most notably the monochromes.
Tiptoe sought to use the colour, known as International Klein Blue or IKB, to create dramatic, monochrome pieces that would help to emphasise the clean modern silhouettes of the furniture.
Like all Tiptoe products, the furniture is designed to last and is entirely crafted and coloured in Europe.
The collection marks the second collaboration between Tiptoe and the Yves Klein Archives after the two companies first joined forces in 2023.
