L’architecte français Vincent Callebaut a partagé des plans et des maquettes de son projet architectural pour la Cité de la Science à Rome. Il a pensé la Cité comme un écosystème auto-suffisant et urbain qui favorise les énergies renouvelables. Il s’est inspiré du mouvement du « land art » dans lequel le paysage est considéré comme une oeuvre d’art.

This table by design student Nathalie Dackelid can be extended by folding out a series of batons that hang beside the legs (+ movie).
The ash table comprises a four-legged frame topped with a row of prism-shaped batons, which are held together with an extendable rubber cord.
When the table needs extending, lengths of wood connected by sliding dovetail joints are pulled out from beneath the top on either side.
The extra batons hanging down from the table become horizontal one by one, following the extending section to create a flat surface.

“Instead of having drop-leaf construction where the hanging table tops close off one or two sides I wanted to create a use for the hanging parts, which turn out to look like a tablecloth when it’s contracted,” said the designer, who is studying at HDK Steneby in Sweden.
The triangular cross-sections allow the batons to rest at right angles to each other and hang vertically from the table edges.
“After trying different shapes connected together with a rubber string I found out that the triangles worked well,” Dackelid told Dezeen. “The tension of the cord and the angle of the triangles created a stop at the ends and fixed the table top in place.”
“The end grain of the ash wood makes a beautiful pattern in the triangular shape, which also reminds me of my grandmother’s crocheted tablecloths,” she added.
The designer’s intention is that the flexibility of the piece will give it greater longevity.
“The table is designed to adapt itself in size to the many different situations in life, prolonging its usefulness,” she said. “This could be a move to a larger apartment, accommodating a few extra friends for dinner, or just freeing up a little extra space to dance.”
This table was exhibited on the HDK Steneby stand in the Greenhouse area for emerging talent at last month’s Stockholm Furniture Fair.
