When city becomes a fun fair
La Vogue a creation by Jean Couvreur.
Looking at the city with children’s eyes, we imagine playful furniture, capable of transforming the city into a place of celebration. On the occasion of the Paris Design Week event, we are presenting our latest innovation: La Vogue, design by Jean Couvreur.
“The project La Vogue, proposes to revitalize a place by installing urban furniture in the manner of a fairground (the term used La Vogue corresponds to the name of popular festival and fairground in the Rhone Alpes region). The proposal takes the form of deckchairs designed in the manner of bumper cars (also called auto-butante in Mayenne where I come from*). These objects are arranged in the space in such a way as to reproduce the track of the merry-go-round while offering views on their environment. They are seats for two people in a lounge position. The design is very simple creating graphic totems on the square. The structure is made of steel, the seat is made of wooden slats in order to offer a maximum of comfort to the user and to let the rainwater run off.” Jean Couvreur
Under its pure and simple appearance, the implementation of these deckchairs is of high quality, in design and manufacturing. The central part of the deckchair is retractable thanks to a totally invisible mechanism. This option makes it easier to secure the furniture to the ground and to maintain it, and it also makes it easier for the installers to work.
