Appreciation towards Miguel Angel Aragonés for providing the following description:

Fontevraud皇家庄园静静耸立在法国西部索米尔的田野中，古老的城堡内正在举行一场以“理想城市”为主题的展览，来自南特的青年设计师事务所Barreau et Charbonnet也获邀参与其中。他们与Metalobil联合设计的装置Pi 5如同钟乳石般，悬挂在天花之下，6米高木质框架外附的无数龙鳞似的小木片，也正呼应着建筑高耸屋顶的肌理。正如传说中用狼乳哺育出罗马建城者Romulus和Remus的母狼一般，从5个“木头乳房”中将会流出甘甜的红、白、玫瑰葡萄酒，水和苹果汁供参观者享用。略带幽默感的设计活跃了建筑庄重的历史氛围，人们在觥筹交错中交谈、分享，仿若时间倒流，把人们带回到数百年前声色犬马的贵族生活中。

展览将持续到2016年11月4日，除Barreau et Charbonnet外还有另外四组设计师参加。

Nantes, May 2016 – From the 4th of June until the 4th of November 2016, the festival ‘La Cîté idéale’ is taking place in France at the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud. The theme: BUILDING AND LIVING the ideal city, invited 5 studios, collectives or associations to explore the intimate relationship between man and architecture.

The studio Barreau et Charbonnet and Metalobil are fortunate to be one of them. The two young designers based in France in Nantes will propose a temporary installation in co-creation with Metalobil ‘which takes place as a free spirit in the fields of environmental design, layout, scenography, furniture and graphic engineering’ in the Roman kitchen.

Jules Charbonnet, one of the founders of the studio Barreau et Charbonnet, explains: “ The goal was to imagine an installation connected with the abbey and related to its story. David Martin, director of the abbey, has told us that at one time the Abbey was a place of parties, orgies and debauchery for aristocrats, the bourgeoisy and prostitutes.”

Its this festive background that inspired the installation Pi 5. Located in one of the master rooms of the abbey restored by the architect Lucien Magne (the last architect of the Sacré Coeur in Paris) the installation follows also the original architecture of this ‘returned’ kitchen.

Nicolas Barreau, co-founder of the studio Barreau et Charbonnet adds: “ The external structure made us think of hanging udders, and with the context of the ideal city of Roman architecture, we linked immediately to Rome, and the “ built “ city by Romulus and Remus often represented sucking the udders of the wolf.”

Freddy Bernard, co-founder of Metalobil, adds: ‘ This space functions like a replace that takes the ideas out of our minds and leads us to imagine a thousand other uses as the original smokehouse. We could have imagined a Turkish bath, a giant still, a medieval astronomical telescope with 6 optics, five huge fish tails of the former Loire. But as strong young men, we preferred to mention that which revolves around the “saints”… and their moods.’.

The size, the location and the effect made by the 5 suspended volumes makes the installation really impressive. The inner structure of the udders has a wood framework and the outer skin covering the vessels are pine shingles. Shingles resemble tiles and give an effect of dragon scales. The tip of the udders of the wolf is represented by a calf teat normally used by farmers.

The abbey being located in the Saumur vineyards, it’s wine that visitors will enjoy. All the udders measure 6m high and offer red wine, white wine, rosé wine, water or local apple juice.

The ambition of the team was to propose a moment of conviviality, sharing, love and humour.
