Construire un I-meubles

What happens to our furniture once we decide that it has gone out of fashion? Seeing them as obsolete, we get rid of these objects in order to replace them with new ones and follow a trend. What happens to this consumer scrap? Arrière-cour focuses on this question and highlights it by exploiting the creative and aesthetic potential of these items. An installation, showcasing the Arrière-cour concept, will be built for the duration of the Biennial in order to raise our awareness, and bring us back to the idea that the initial function of design was to produce beauty that lasts. This accumulation, an ephemeral totem of what we consider as aesthetically outdated and unable to be reintroduced into the cycle of consumption, therefore accedes to a new meaning of beauty.
