During the pandemic, 44 people were invited to take part in a ‘serious game’: each participant selected the image of a personal object of fascination, out of which a shape was extracted, redrawn, scaled and sent to a CNC machine to be cut out of a 5 mm thick aluminium sheet and become a low table.
The exhibition OOF - Objects of fascination put the designs on display in the Pavillon de l’Arsenal in Paris. The exhibition ran until January 16, 2022. But you can still have a look at some pictures of the exhibition.
Exhibition OOF - Objects of fascinationBook - Objects of fascination
Within the framework of this exhibition a publication has been produced in collaboration with Accattone. In the publication each table is presented through the original image that generated it, the selected contour, a text by its author and photographs of the prototype taken by Maxime Delvaux and printed in silver.
Images by Maxime Delvaux
Accattone - Objects of fascinationObjects of Fascination explores digital technology and craftsmanship through found forms. It can be seen as a collection of personal worldviews by an emerging generation of architects, as much as an attempt to give a physical form to the multiplicity of our collective cultural background.
