Les Rochers (the Rocks)

The Rocks are a user experience. We selected from nature the rock shapes that are most likely to indicate a seat. The shapes we chose offer a wide variety of sitting positions, users look for their posture, sometimes cross-legged, sometimes leaning against the Rocks... It is up to them to find the posture that suits them best. The Rocks, like Franz West's Paßstücke, call on users to experiment and play.

The Rocks are dyed in the mass with ochres from the richly coloured soils of Roussilon, in the south-east of France. Users can choose among the different shades brought by these natural pigments in order to include the Rocks in their homes. These colours are both soft and deep, changing with the light that touches them. They oscillate between shades of pink and white, making them almost alive. When the Rocks are in a room, they are like stopping points, a resting time during a walk.
