FIRCE | RÉPUBLIQUE GROLÉE-CARNOT | FLOATING GARDEN
Place de la République à Lyon | May 25th - 27th 2018
VEGETAL ARCHITECTURE IN THE HEART OF THE CITY
— CONTEXT —
To coincide with Mother's Day, TETRO and the LES GENS ET VOUS agency are creating a new event that will bring an extraordinary and sensory experience to the heart of the République Grolée-Carnot district.
— BRIEF —
Offer the public a moment of warmth and abundance on Rue de la République. Create an artistic experience on the theme of flowers and form a bond with the public. Generate a buzz around the event by producing an aesthetic and original creation.
— CREATION —
Our team creates a floating garden where people can relax in a lush green haven in the city centre. To create a strong and out-of-the-ordinary image, the agency invite floral artist Patrick Nadeau to design a dome made from Japanese bushes and flowering plants. The installation conjures up ideas of magic, the world of children and imaginary landscapes. The floating garden is accessible to the public and conceived as an idyllic rural trail in an urban environment where passers-by can stroll and enjoy a moment of peace. On Friday evening, the dome is transformed into a pop-up restaurant where 10 lucky winners enjoyed a meal concocted by a top starred chef from Lyon. In the evening, the dome lights up to extend these magical, spectacular moments throughout the weekend.
