About
First commissioned for the Première Vision design fair in Paris, Onsite Prototype No. 09 was later reinstalled at Le Centquatre, the City of Paris’ cultural and residency center.
The installation is built from structural seating profiles — a constructive system that forms the backbone of the Onsite Prototype series. Each project reuses existing profiles or generates new ones, progressively expanding this catalogue of structural elements.
At Le Centquatre, the structure unfolds in bundled green tubes, evoking vegetal growth and spontaneous spatial occupation. Installed in the building’s central hall, it creates an artificial landscape offering spaces to sit, rest, and gather.
Both sculptural and functional, the piece adapts to the architecture and encourages informal use. It continues the series’ exploration of the boundaries between object, environment, and collective interaction — transforming the exhibition space into a living platform.
