Atriums + Sections
Offices and cultural buildings both offer the perfect opportunity to design the atrium of your dreams. These central spaces, designed to allow serendipitous meetings of users or to help with orientation in the building, are spacious and offer a lot of design freedom. Imposing scales, sculptural stairs, eccentric materials, and indoor vegetation are just some of the resources used to give life to these spaces.

Pleats Chair | Ilseop Yoon
ÉCAL student Ilseop Yoon used a sheet of moulded aluminium to create the pleated seat and backrest of this chair.
Yoon, a student on the Master Product Design course at the Swiss school, looked to both architecture and fashion when developing the design for his Pleats Chair.
He likens the pleated form to corrugated roofing panels. But he also took inspiration from the “strong structure and beautiful aesthetic” of the famous pleated garments of Japanese fashion designer Issey Miyake.
“Corrugated structure is widely used in architecture and fashion in terms of the strong structure and the beautiful aesthetics,” said the designer, who originates from South Korea. “The Pleats Chair highlights both aspects.”
Yoon created the pleats using a custom-made wooden mould, with one part embossed and one part debossed.
He created a digital 3D model of the chair to calculate the shape and size of the seat, then produced a mould from a CNC machine. This was used to shape the pleated aluminium and create the body of the chair.
