Rayonne

Rayonne is a textile installation somewhere between a tent, a big top and a shade cloth.

The fabric used to make it up is entirely reused from the upper part of a retired hot-air balloon. And while it may no longer be able to take to the skies today, it is in what it narrates us that it continues to carry away.
In addition to providing shelter, this envelope interacts with its context.

The fabric used to make it up is entirely reused from the upper part of a retired hot-air balloon. And while it may no longer be able to take to the skies today, it is in what it narrates us that it conti- nues to carry away.
In addition to providing shelter, this envelope interacts with the wind and light, creating a new experience in the space where it lands. Movements in the wind making the textile breathe, plays between shadow and light through the colorful fabric creating magical atmospheres.
Thanks to its carefully thought-out docking system, based on the technical details already present on the upper part of the balloon, this secure device can be adapted to a wide range of locations.
In fact, it requires just four anchor points to adapt to its environ- ment, attaching smoothly to existing elements such as lampposts, metal structures, wall studs or trees.
