Mobile Case

The "thèque-mobile" has a dual functionality : storage and seating. It is mobile, thanks to its concealed castors, and modular. Before each eco-construction session, users can put together their "thèque-mobile" to suit their needs.

Using wooden planks that fit together using a system of notches and interlocking. This way, you can create storage areas of varying sizes, depending on the contents.

The thèque-mobile is designed to hold all kinds of objects and tools, such as books, manuals, tarpaulins, tool boxes, foldable and stackable square cushions and table legs.

The small notches at the ends of the top plate can be used to join the mobile benches together using hook-and-loop fasteners to form a long bench, just like the current concrete bench on 3rd Street.

Adaptable Table

This table consists of a wooden cutting board pierced with screw-threaded holes into which legs can be screwed.

The legs, made from recycled plastic and manufactured on site, can also be screwed together, making it possible to assemble tables of varying sizes depending on their use.

The size of the top (70x140 cm) allows tables to be easily assembled to form larger or smaller work surfaces.

sTool

The special feature of this stepladder is that it consists of four multi-level stools that can be dismantled to suit the visitor's needs, thanks to a system of sliding notches inspired by Japanese carpentry.

In this way, one stepladder represents four seats which, once detached, can be adapted to different work surface heights (cf. Adaptable Table).

Storage Coat

Inspired by the bottle rack of the Cité Radieuse, these perforated panels come in three forms :

The first is used to mark and close off spaces, with a curtain added.

The second acts as a second skin to the existing concrete wall.

The third acts as a false ceiling.

These "walls" are made of interlocking 3x3cm battens. Hooks, moulded from recycled plastic, can be placed on top. These hooks can be used to store tools and objects used in the workshops.

Fresh Bottles

Mobile, with its castors, like a fan and cool like a conventional air-conditioner, this natural air-conditioner can be placed against a wall or leaning against a window, depending on how much cooling the space needs.

Inspired by the "Eco-Cooler", designed by the Grey Dhaka agency in Bangladesh, this air conditioning system does not use electricity, but the wind outside. The idea is to cut recycled glass bottles in half and place several of them on a wooden plate that holds them in place.

The assembly is held together by feet that adjust the height of the bottles in relation to the window opening. The hot air entering each bottle is compressed at the neck, cooling it before it enters the room. This principle can reduce the temperature by up to five degrees.

Quarter Circle

These quarter-circle modules are modular and stackable, playing with shapes and the body as it moves through the space.

Boards fit together using a system of notches to offer two levels of exposure, high and low.The accumulated half-circles can form half-circles, full circles or any other undulating shape.

The four quarter-circles forming a full circle can accommodate a large board on which larger objects can be placed.

Crossing Moucharabieh

Inspired by Provençal box-bead curtains and the moucharabieh, this hybrid element is an accumulation of circles that intersect only vertically. 
The passage through the moucharabieh is possible thanks to two types of circle.The first is pierced by four holes into which the second, thinner circle can be inserted.

This way, an articulation is created between each circular module. The straight, fixed shape is transformed into a sinuous, organic form when they are pushed through.
