Mr. Coiffard’s Christmas #1

— Nantes (44) — 2005
Architect: BLOCK
Client: Private
Location: Bookstore

Mirror PMMA strips adorn the two shops opposite the Coiffard bookstore. A 2 m diameter inflatable bubble overhangs the street between the two facades. A subtle and unsettling play of reflections creates a mimicry and a ‘mise en abyme’ of the 18th-century architecture of Rue de la Fosse.
