Matali Crasset based this project on a postulate: starting out from a form, to devise and imagine a world.
A kind of ridge, a comma in two, becomes the brick of a three-dimensional universe. It is a tool for developing an imaginary and constructing the space. Produced on various scales, it serves by turns to build the structure of a stool, a shelter, a mobile... This is an imaginary system thought out as an open universe.
The space hinges around two areas: the square, and in it a small greenhouse filled with imaginary plants and which makes a call from the lobby; in the middle, the mummy weeping willow, a space to come together and be protected for activities or settle down with a book. And all around, the little shoots pollinizing the space and making it open to change. A tribute to the energy of nature and to springtime. A vivacious structure to release one’s creativeness.
