Project 52 - 10/52: Design in town

I agree that for my challenge I'm totally in design projects (my job) but not at all in town (the context in which I intend to exercise it). So I'm aksing the way I could give to the design in the city. And you know, there is no famous ''decorative design'' given to see in town.



Well, in uptown you can see the shops windows, and some of them are paying tribute to design fames with reeditions of some of their creations. So here is my question: why world examples of design couldn't go out from living room to the streets?

Verner Panton, one molded piece chair (1967) in the streets of Nantes, France

Concrete and textile materials and composites can prevent high prices displayed in shops (where it's more a handcrafted art than industrial design) to allow these with rules of a public space planning. And here, at the difference of a museum, you can seat on the displayed models! Here is my idea: to offer at all the people in a city the best of XXth century creations with adaptations from wood and leather to urban furnitures:

Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, Ploum (Ligne Roset, 2011)

behind L'Absence (atelier Van Lieshout) et the school of architecture of Nantes (Lacaton and Vassal), France

Le Corbusier, canapé LC2 (1928) behind Grand Café, Saint Nazaire, France

Le Corbusier, LC2 (1928)... also in a ''non-urban'' space (here you can see Paimboeuf, France)

I don't know which editor of urban furnitures would dare bet (and which could buy the copyrights)...

Charles and Ray Eames, Lounge chair (1956), Saint Nazaire, France

I'm sorry no to have identified the authors of the pictures I used here, if you see them please contact me...
