french architect paul coudamy designed a new office space for beartech
an internet hosting office in paris. the ‘bears cave’ is organized in three different
spaces for working, leisure and meeting areas. the back space is emphasized
by parisian rock and brick walls creating a solid and mineral atmosphere.
a honeycomb cardboard bench creates a low separation between the meeting room
and the working spaces. the cavern walls are created using wood waste pieces
collected in dumpsters, sidewalks and wastelands.

Also, the other day I was downtown and was walking near Anthropologie and dude – they have a pretty awesome storefront display going on right now, that is very similar to this. Except, from a friend who worked on it, it apparently was made of wasted wood that was purchased. $1000 worth of wood, to be specific, so the store does not plan to make it any larger.

Edit: I’ve had a change of heart, for a lot of reasons. So, see you in the fall.
