Mudam: Next Cabane

Six projects by young designers at at Fabrica are now on show at Mudam, in Luxemburg. Titled Next Cabane , the exhibition departs from a simple, foldable hut-like structure made of wooden slats, from a flea market in the north of Scotland, which, it seems, was originally covered with a tarpaulin and used as a shelter for anglers.
>br /> The young designers have subjected this mobile room to different interpretations, using it as a temporary means of delimitation, as a symbolic protective space, as a place of work or play, or as an exhibition venue, respectively.

As an enclosed space, it enables a more conscious perception of place and its characteristics; it is an experimental space in which design methods can be used to examine and interrogate materials, forms and structures.

Soft Fold by Marie Dessuant and Margaux Keller is a temporary space which invites the users to take time out of their day. Duvets, a reading table, a low bench and a lamp compose this hybrid furniture/space. The harmony of colors emphasizes this soft and quiet atmosphere.

Rod by Amaury Poudray and Brian Wood accentuates the structure of the hut in its individual components by differentiating them by means of various colours.

The Mobile Museum by Philip Bone and Dean Brown is a mobile museum whose collection changes its theme depending on where it is exhibited. It is made up of corresponding objects from a large variety of sources.

Weathering the Storm by Valentina Carretta and Gustavo Millon provides a protective space in a stormy environment, with an ironic undertone – a kind of interior exterior space with puddles and a bonfire.

Maze by Catarina Carreiras is a typographic labyrinth with a specially designed typeface which, like all the contributions to Next Cabane, is able to evolve along with the story that is to be told.

The Waiting Room by Kirsty Minns is a space in which to pause and reflect on time, which enables visitors to become more astutely aware of their own temporality.

Net Cabane by Giorgia Zanellato emphasises the lightness and temporary nature of the structure of the hut. The knotted nets recall the original purpose of the hut and create space in a simple way.
