Les Grandes Tables de L’île by 1024 Architecture
Paris studio 1024 Architecture have completed a cafe made from scaffolding and shipping containers on an island on the Seine in Paris.
Les Grandes Tables is located on the Île Seguin, where architect Jean Nouvel is currently converting a car factory into a museum.
Elevated amidst the scaffolding structure is an oriented strand board box, which houses the first floor restaurant.
A staircase at the front of the building leads visitors up to this dining room, whilst an open space below is used for informal events and parties.
A restaurant/bar/open-air café positioned on Île Seguin in the middle of a temporary garden whilst waiting for the architect Jean Nouvel’s macro project to be implemented, Les Grandes Tables de L’ile is a place to meet, for haute cuisine and why not even parties to accompany the reconstruction of this island steeped in history.
The project is an architectural hybridization between an agricultural greenhouse, a barge and a timber-frame house.
Modelled after a large wood fibre box suspended in a scaffold structure from which freight containers are hanging, all encompassed beneath a transparent umbrella…
An eye-catching iconoclastic assemblage with an area of 300m2 to accommodate 120 covers and the cuisine of Arnaud Daguin, a chef with stars to his name.
Constructed from scaffolding, wood fibre panels and containers, according to the principle dear to the 1024 duo, the restaurant can be promptly extended by video and lighting effects by changing with the assistance of mapping for the duration of a party or a particular event.
‘A meeting place aimed at initiating the reoccupation of the venue. An architecture which must be able to disappear without leaving any traces…’
