Great I like it, I’ve been there and the materials, including woods, are all sustainable. as Iosa Ghini wrote in his latst book ‘Sostenibile ma bello’ (Sustainable but beautiful).
Fluid shapes but taken from nature, not only glass and metal.

good question, ive just look at some of the Bouroullec’s new work & i have always thought they are very talented but this space as pictured is very subtle, i find it very balanced , relationship between objects, softness of curves, even many of angles are curved, all though not all of them – if you look at the doorways etc, the more i look at this space the more i like it, if find it very subtle & genital & i think that there’s some kind of honest functionality in the places that need it, yet places for imagination/where imagination has been used too. I just think as it is, it looks like a well balanced space & working with some soft aesthetics which i love.

I love how they ‘transformed’ the columns to trees.

actually, what also makes it very very special is the type of wood used. I’m imagining the wood was (hopefully) either reclaimed or from sustainable forest. Very important. If im honest I do know the names of different types of wood cuts (radial etc) but i can’t tell from these pictures which ones they have used. I don’t no what “boiserie” means, might be connected.
