A place to throw rocks
The Vitra workshops at Boisbuchet are a place for creative freedom and experimentation. The brief "Creation is a serious play" set by designer Satyendra Pakhale encouraged participants to find different approaches of creation, stepping away from a design object and focusing on the materials, interactions, and nature around. The result was a place for people to relax, chat, and throw rocks.
