Bio

Rational and pragmatic, we aim to reduce waste with a vision towards sustainability. This path has led us towards developing a modular and reusable building concept. We manage a space wherein content is presented in a logical and practical way while being visually pleasant and attractive. We focus on an achievable target: a structure between furniture and architecture. This is our favorite field of work.

Wood and felt
256 X 256 X 256 cm

Office workspace, commercial stand, garden shed, children’s bedroom, pop-up bar… the structure devised by Gilles Lenoble allows all kinds of usage. “We’re something between furniture and property” , he says. “I wanted to create a standard structure offering an independent space that can be adapted with ease. The idea is not to have to throw a structure away once we no longer need it, as it can still be useful.” Each cube is made up of 12 absolutely identical beams that are easy to assemble. A logical design that reduces production and makes it more sustainable (the choice of wood, in this respect, was also obvious). Then we can slip in all sorts of decorative, functional or technical ingredients: lamps, flooring, acoustic panels… “When we bought Lego Technics as children, there was always a plan. Then, we improvised. It’s the same principal here.”
