Daily Dose Monographic Images 1876 | La Maison de Thé - Interfaces Résilientes “Meanwhile let us have a sip of tea. The afternoon glow is brightening the bamboos, the fountains are bubbling with delight, the soughing of the pines is heard out in our kettle. Let us dream of evanescence, and linger in the beautiful foolishness of things.” Extract from ‘The Book of Tea’" Charlotte Perriand, La Maison de Thé, Paris, 1993 "Charlotte Perriand read ‘The Book of Tea’ while she lived in Japan and Vietnam during the II War World. Both the book and the years of exile had a huge impact on her ideas and her design skills. Long time after her return to France in 1946 she was commissioned by her friend Hiroshi Teshigaharato design a Teahouse to be part of the Japanese Cultural Festival held in Paris in 1993. Her proposal was to be located on the rooftop of the UNESCO headquarters, along with other Tea houses designed by Tadao Ando, Ettore Sottsass and Yae Lun Choi." Kadid Studio, Interfaces Résilientes, BAP Versailles, 2022 Over the centuries, nomadic cultures have created a practical and economical form of architecture, shaped by the need for transportability and efficiency. This has led to the development of structures that are not only functional but also adaptable. The concept of "resilient interfaces" emerged as a way to describe the versatile properties of a material central to this architecture: textile. Serving both as a spatial boundary and a climate regulator, the textile interface shields from wind, rain, and sun, retains heat or coolness, and helps define spaces and their privacy. In collaboration with Albane Gayet, Perron et Frères. With the support of Roëser, Kvadrat.
