PETAL, the team designed a playful, kinetic structure using 108 simple deck chairs arranged in the form of a cylinder
▏This is a Very Fresh with Creative Means
From timber and a few dozen canvas folding chairs, Lasovsky Johansson Architects conceived of a summery pavilion called “PETAL.” This is a very fresh with creative means, that’s phat! Originally situated as a functional installation hosting an oyster bar during an art fair in 2023, [the work is currently in the courtyard of the Designmuseum Danmark in Copenhagen, where visitors can pop by for a coffee or snack].
Founded by Juráš Lasovský and Hanna Johansson, the studio was established with a collaborative mindset and a mission “to create beautiful projects that are rooted in place.” Many of the firm’s designs relate to civic spaces, such as schools, cultural centers, and public squares.
3>▏PETAL Brings a 360-degree Experience
For PETAL, the team designed a playful, kinetic structure using 108 simple deck chairs arranged in the form of a cylinder]. [During the day, the seats open, and the piece appears to bloom. In the evening, the chairs are collapsed to form a more solid surface, which doubles as a screen to capture color projections.
“The main driving force being the design was to use an everyday product in a new way and still keep the original functionality,” the studio says in a statement. Employing lightweight, basic deck chairs, the temporary pavilion is easy to assemble, disassemble, and pack flat. Part functional space and part art object, PETAL invites a 360-degree experience.
Lasovsky and Johansson are currently working on a contemporary design for the new Museum of Forest Finn Culture in Svullrya, Norway. Explore more projects on the studio’s website.
