jean-benoît vétillard - architecture, Salottobuono | Matteo Ghidoni · MULTIPLE

MULTIPLE is a podium, a table, a bench. It is an accumulation of semicircular surfaces of variable heights (40, 70 and 100cm).
MULTIPLE assembles and disperses in a perpetual movement choreographed according to the corresponding event: 6 islands become a buffet, a buffet becomes a collection of amphitheatres, the amphitheatres become a central stage, the central stage becomes a large serpentine table, the large table breaks down and spreads to the corners of the museum and outwards. All combinations should be listed to produce an atlas of uses and shapes.
MULTIPLE is composed of a metal grid deck (20x60mm, 25mm thick) welded on a metal structure, both thermo lacquered. The forms and the chosen colors interact with the geometric and luminous variations of the Palais de la Porte Dorée and begin a dialogue with its architect Albert Laprade.
