Inauguration of the Martell Pavillon by SelgasCano
17/07/2017
Autor: Fondation dEntreprise Martell
The first project in France by the duo of José Selgas and Lucìa Cano, this exterior pavilion is comprised of modules constructed from hi-tech materials, which will house specific activities prefiguring the Foundation’s future schedule of events.
True to their aesthetic of transparency and openness to the outside world, SelgasCano constructed the pavilion from a metal framework covered by a translucent material developed by French brand Onduline. Strong and watertight, the material is permeated by a soft, changing light which creates intriguing iridescent effects. In 2018, the pavilion will be dismantled and rebuilt elsewhere in order to give it a second life.
