ECAL @ Appartement 50, Citée radieuse

Although Jean-Marc Drut and Patrick Blauwart have obsessively restored this flat to its original state (see their website here), and are graciously opening it to the public on appointment; they don’t intend it to become a museum but a living project. Their clever approach to this challenge is to invite a designer to furbish it for a season. Previous participants included Konstantin Grcic, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec and Jasper Morrison. This year the students of the ECAL school of design actually created objects and furniture specifically for the flat and the terrace, definitely making this project a breathing one!
