Beneath the glass canopy of the Salon d\u2019Honneur, a sweeping, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/pink\/\"><strong>pink<\/strong><\/a>, textile structure cuts across the historic setting with the ease of something entirely new. This is Fun Palace \u2014 an architectural and curatorial experiment designed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/studio-ossidiana\/\"><strong>Studio Ossidiana<\/strong><\/a> and staged by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/centre-pompidou\/\"><strong>Centre Pompidou<\/strong><\/a> during its five-year closure. Named after Cedric Price\u2019s legendary unbuilt project, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/interactive-installation\/\"><strong>interactive<\/strong><\/a> installation rethinks how we gather, how we share space, and how collective life can be shaped by design.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Jean-Max Colard, Head of Programming at the Centre Pompidou, frames the event in both spatial and political terms: \u2018<em>We have this idea to explore a new form of assembly. It\u2019s the pleasure of gathering, but also how we speak, how we come together in a space<\/em>.\u2019 The ten-day program at the Grand Palais, he explains, becomes a living laboratory, where each day is imagined as a room in an evolving architecture of thought, action, and intimacy.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The decision to invoke Cedric Price was not incidental. The original Fun Palace, imagined in the 1960s, proposed an adaptable cultural complex shaped by users, not hierarchies. Though never built, its ideas remain foundational, particularly for institutions like the Centre Pompidou. \u2018<em>Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers studied Cedric Price,\u2019 says Colard. \u2018This is a way of relaunching that utopian project<\/em>.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Studio Ossidiana transforms the Grand Palais into a soft, inhabitable structure | image \u00a9 Centre Pompidou<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">soft palace: a textile landscape for collective life<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Studio Ossidiana\u2019s contribution for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.centrepompidou.fr\/en\/\"><strong>Centre Pompidou<\/strong><\/a> installation, titled The Soft Palace, acts as both landscape and stage. It folds and spills across the floor of the Grand Palais like a garment, offering shelter, invitation, and unpredictability. Made of layered pink felt, the installation encourages barefoot wandering, reclining, and spontaneous use. Its informality is deliberate.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018<em>It became a sort of encampment<\/em>,\u2019 say Alessandra Covini and Giovanni Bellotti of Rotterdam-based, Italian <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/studio_ossidiana\/?hl=en\"><strong>practice<\/strong><\/a> Studio Ossidiana. \u2018<em>The temporary home of the Centre Pompidou while it\u2019s being renovated.

Nightcrawlers, a video game by <a href=\"https:\/\/alicebucknell.com\/\"><strong>artist<\/strong><\/a> Alice Bucknell, maps the building through the sensory logics of bats and flowers. \u2018<em>It\u2019s a pollination simulator<\/em>,\u2019 Bucknell explains. \u2018<em>You\u2019re either the bat or the flower, navigating underground root networks or flying through the halls. You collect charms using echolocation or electric pulses. Each one makes a sound. You and your partner play them back to each other like a musical score<\/em>.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The game is multiplayer and cooperative by design. \u2018<em>You can\u2019t play alone<\/em>,\u2019 Bucknell says. \u2018<em>It\u2019s about becoming attuned to someone else, without words. Pollination becomes a kind of duet<\/em>.\u2019 As players succeed in these musical exchanges, the architecture changes. French formal gardens slowly give way to wild, overgrown ecologies. \u2018<em>The more you cooperate, the more the palace transforms.<\/em>\u2018<\/p>\n<p>Formafantasma and Fernando Laposse contribute works that reframe relationships between material and society | image \u00a9 Centre Pompidou<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Amid these interactive works is a more meditative zone: a small, focused presentation of design pieces from the Centre Pompidou\u2019s collection, curated by Olivier Zeitoun. These recent acquisitions underscore design\u2019s capacity to assemble both materials and people. \u2018<em>We called it The Assembly of Objects<\/em>,\u2019 Zeitoun notes. \u2018<em>Each project here is the result of a collective process, either in how it was made or what it represents<\/em>.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Among them is <a href=\"https:\/\/formafantasma.com\/\"><strong>FormaFantasma<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s Cambio, which interrogates the timber industry through material storytelling, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fernandolaposse.com\/\">Fernando Laposse<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s Corn Kumiko Cabinet, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mashtdesignstudio\/?hl=en\"><strong>Mash.T Deign Studio<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s Hlabisa Bench, a tribute to Zulu craftsmanship. Also on view are works by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ibiyane\/?hl=en\"><strong>ibiyan\u03b5<\/strong><\/a>, whose poetic forms draw on diasporic memory and shared experience. \u2018<em>These objects are sensitive to ecology, memory, and postcolonial narratives<\/em>,\u2019 says Zeitoun. \u2018<em>Design becomes a tool for connection, for transmission<\/em>.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While the project is inspired by Cedric Price\u2019s Fun Palace, this version is more tactile, more embodied. You sit in it. You nap in it. You echolocate in it. You play. Its strength lies in what it offers without prescription, It is an open architecture shaped by those who use it. \u2018<em>Cities aren\u2019t born in beautiful solitude<\/em>,\u2019 says Alessandra Covini. \u2018<em>They emerge from conflict, negotiation, the mess of being together<\/em>.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Olivier Zeitoun curates a design assembly that functions as a tool of connection and knowledge transmission | image \u00a9 designboom<\/p>\n<p>Jean-Max Colard sees Fun Palace as an experiment in how we share space | image \u00a9 designboom<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>with the two-player game, players explore a virtual Grand Palais | image \u00a9 Centre Pompidou<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>Fun Palace builds on Cedric Price\u2019s legendary unrealized vision | image \u00a9 designboom<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>Studio Ossidiana | image \u00a9 designboom<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>exhibition title:\u00a0<\/strong>Fun Palace<\/p>\n<p><strong>location:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grandpalais.fr\/en\">Grand Palais<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/le_grand_palais\/?hl=fr\">@le_grand_palais<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>on view:\u00a0<\/strong>June 6th \u2014 15th, 2025<\/p>\n<p><strong>host:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.centrepompidou.fr\/en\/\">Centre Pompidou<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/centrepompidou\/\">@centrepompidou<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>installation design:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.studio-ossidiana.com\/\">Studio Ossidiana<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/studio_ossidiana\/?hl=en\">@studio_ossidiana<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>video game designer:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/alicebucknell.com\/\">Alice Bucknell<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/alicebucknell\/?hl=en\">@alicebucknell<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>curators:<\/strong> Jean-Max Colard, Jos\u00e9phine Huppert, Alice Pialoux, assisted by Daphn\u00e9 Carreras,<br \/>\n<strong>curators of The Assembly of Objects:<\/strong> Olivier Zeitoun, in collaboration with Iris Carton Eldin<br \/>\n<strong>head of design and industrial prospective:<\/strong> Marie-Ange Brayer<br \/>\n<strong>collection attach\u00e9e, design department:<\/strong> Mathilde Vall\u00e9e<br \/>\n<strong>production manager:<\/strong> Barbara Kugler<br \/>\n<strong>sceneographer:<\/strong> Celine Coffin<br \/>\n<strong>space manager:<\/strong> Charlotte Cochelin<br \/>\n<strong>artworks manager:<\/strong> Nina Genonceau <br \/>\n<strong>audiovisual management:<\/strong> Alexandre Lebugle,<br \/>\n<strong>stage management:<\/strong> Fran\u00e7ois Pegalajar, Robin Vieville, Fabrice Pleynet<br \/>\n<strong>producer of The Soft Palace:<\/strong> Arguzia<br \/>\n<strong>interpreters:<\/strong> Marguerite Capelle, Caroline Ferrard, Ad\u00e8le Hattemer, Yves Tixier<br \/>\n<strong>partnership coordination:<\/strong> Ana\u00efs Izard, Camille Gorret<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/design\/centre-pompidou-pink-interactive-fun-palace-pop-up-paris-grand-palais-ossidiana-06-06-2025\/\">centre pompidou installs interactive pink \u2018fun palace\u2019 pop-up in paris<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Architecture of Assemblies \u00a0 On arrival at the Grand Palais in Paris, the contrast is immediate.
