Furniture design

To set up the Cabanon, special furniture and equipment were designed and created.

In many respects, the interior of the Cabanon has been designed like a ship.

The hallways are lined with sliding doors and the stern of the building is filled by a bedroom.

Ingenious storage is provided in each room.

Furniture creation has been designed as a series of sketches recorded in a small book format.

The drawings were modified several times and then sized in preparation for manufacture in furniture workshops.

Working with teaching staff of the Lycée Polyvalent Astier, the task of manufacturing the furniture was given to several students of the woodworking section.

Several meetings with the students were required to manage the amount of experimentation for some creations and follow the manufacture of furniture.

The furniture is made of solid ash coloured melamine, laminated wood and three-ply wood panels.
