The same great-looking legs cropped up recently in two different Paris projects on Remodelista: a starter apartment and Merci’s new showcase residence. Intriguingly, these legs are made of powder-coated steel and designed to turn just about any thin, flat surface into a readymade table. We had to find out more.
The Inspiration

The Paris company was founded in 2015 by two friends with a mission to create durable, modular furniture—the metal parts are manufactured by a factory near Chamonix, a third-generation business that belongs to the family of one of Tiptoe’s co-owners. The solid oak Wall Shelves with steel brackets are also from Tiptoe.

The owners of Tiptoe are environmentally minded: they use responsibly sourced materials and all of their pieces are designed for easy assembly, deconstruction, repair, and recycling.
