Tiptoe and the Yves Klein Archives are back with an encore performance with a new collection – Tiptoe x Klein Blue® – featuring the vibrant, ultramarine blue that has become an iconic hue in fashion, art, and design. After a stellar debut in 2023, the two brands have come together once again to reimagine some of Tiptoe’s most beloved designs in the unmistakable International Klein Blue (IKB), a color as legendary as the artist himself.
This limited-edition collection includes the PLI shelf, DUKE bench, BRACKETS wall hooks, LOU stool, SSD chair, round coffee table, and Tiptoe’s signature table legs in 75cm and 43cm heights. Each piece pays homage to Yves Klein’s IKB, which he described as “the most perfect expression of blue” and became the basis for his exploration of the immaterial and the infinite. Many of his monochromatic works are characterized by this intense color.
The collection goes beyond just making furniture in a new hue. Getting the color perfectly right is of the utmost importance in a collaboration like this. Tiptoe worked closely with the Yves Klein Archives, whose mission is to protect and promote the artist’s work, to ensure every shade of blue matched the artist’s original intent. Two distinct formulas had to be made for wood and steel to ensure seamless continuity across materials.
Every piece in the collection is stamped or silk-screened by French artisans and made using sustainable, durable materials sourced and crafted in Europe. As a B Corp-certified pioneer in eco-design, Tiptoe continues to prove that furniture can be equal parts artful, functional, and environmentally responsible.
The Tiptoe x Yves Klein Archives collaboration celebrates the timeless allure of this historic shade of ultramarine, while offering a vibrant pop of color for your home.
