Atelier 22

A showroom for a clothing label, built from three materials and left almost empty.

Three materials

Three materials, nothing else.

Pale terrazzo, solid oak and a single concrete counter. The room is a constant; the collection changes it each season by moving twelve oak blocks.

  • ITerrazzo

    Close view of pale terrazzo with grey stone chips, folding over an edge

    Poured in one piece across the whole floor, pale, with a fine aggregate of white and grey marble. No joints where a rail could catch.

  • IIOak

    A solid oak table and block against a white wall on a concrete floor

    Twelve blocks of solid oak in four sizes 鈥?seats, plinths, tables. Heavy enough to stay put, light enough for two people to move.

  • IIIConcrete

    A smooth cast concrete ledge against a white wall, a small plant on it

    One counter, cast in place, 3.6 metres long. The only thing in the room that never moves.

The room

A room that stays the same so the clothes can change.

The long window is screened with a fine steel mesh, so the street becomes a soft grey light. The bench beneath it runs the length of the wall; the steel rail hangs from the ceiling and touches nothing else.

140 m虏, one door, one counter, twelve blocks.
