Kiosque

Galerie kreo & Emerige

2015

Designed by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, this modular pavilion functions as an adaptable, standalone element. By creating new spatial usage scenarios this Kiosk sparks new dynamics for public spaces. 

‍

In collaboration with the La Machine workshops, blam worked on the technical design and execution of the project. Each unit reimagines the classic pavilion form by incorporating three elements: a steel structure, a mobile enclosure, and a modular roof that dominates the volume. Conceived as a temporary structure, this Kiosk was carefully designed to be easily transported and assembled in three hours. Assembly is carried out in two stages: positioning the rectangular base, followed by installing the roof. Entirely modular, this pavilion allows for an infinite number of configurations depending on the context and intended use. The project has been presented in various locations, such as the Tuileries Garden in Paris, the Parliament of Brittany in Rennes, the UNIC project by Emerige in the Batignolles district of Paris, and in Mexico.

The Kiosque is a modular structure inspired by the design principles of Jean Prouvé. All mechanical joints are designed to facilitate on-site assembly.

At nightfall, the Kiosque stands out as a luminous, ephemeral urban beacon. Custom-made candelabras are integrated into the roof.
