Wood Stone

Instant built objects

OBI stands for objets bâtis instantanés or instant built objects. During five days in a ceramics atelier + barn in Juriens, Switzerland, we designed and built two different cabins for sleeping, since the people who are coming to work in this atelier often do not live close to Juriens.

Wood Stone is one of the cabins. Our work was inspired by Ken Isaacs’ How To Build Your Own Living Structures, which is about building sustainable, eco-friendly, modular, flexible, multi-functional living structures which reconfigure the entire volume of a room, being bigger than furniture and smaller than architecture.

Tutored by Youri Kravtchenko and assisted by Lawrence Breitling; Wood Stone is made and designed in cooperation with Emma Pflieger, Kaisli Oksa, Laure Cristinat and Cohann Rémy.
