Souvenir des îles
The furniture of the entrance of the Congrès Centre Prouvé is made my GENS association libérale d’architecture in collaboration with the artist Benjamin Dufour.
A family of modules mounted on wheels. Their plan, a rectangular trapezium, induces a rich variety of assembly possibilities. The building set, with its countless combinations, can spread.
Their structure is another game: birch plywood panels are cnc-milled and adjusted together, without the use of glue or screws.
In addition to the furniture, beside the systemic efficiency of its production and use, the palace owes its decorum: a chandelier establishes the lobby; the 4 corners of a ceramic carpet shimmer in the foyer.
These actions may once again interpret the industrial language, or assume the arbitrary joy of the decorative or strange, they invite the congressman and the wanderer to take possession of the place.
