📖 Experimenting with design and space

In this interactive workshop, families experiment with structures and covering elements to build furniture and living units. Participants explore intriguing questions such as whether a house could stand with cardboard or cork walls, while thinking, selecting, and combining components.

Drawing on the solutions pioneered by Jean Prouvé and Charlotte Perriand, who transformed 20th-century design and architecture, visitors discover firsthand how these simple, ingenious elements work.
