Until January 5, 2026, Rouen's Musée des Beaux-Arts is hosting a major exhibition dedicated to Maxime Old, an architect, cabinetmaker and decorator renowned for his emblematic contributions to the city. This retrospective highlights his work and influence in the field of decorative arts.

An innovative partnership with the École nationale supérieure d'Architecture de Normandie

In parallel, the S6 Situation workshop, led by Sophie Cambrillat, Dominique Lefrançois and Kacha Legrand, engaged 3rd-year students in an original project: to design furniture inspired by the work of Maxime Old, adapted to the museum's contemporary uses. The furniture created questions postures, interactions and uses in a public museum space.

Modular creations to rethink the museum as a living space

The students imagined modular, flexible pieces - chairs, sofas, drawer units - that promote conviviality, equality of speech and invite discovery. Inspired in particular by the African palaver chair, this furniture invites a renewed museum experience, where space becomes a place for exchange and sharing.

"Le Laboratoire Maxime Old

The museum offers "Le Laboratoire Maxime Old," a dedicated space displaying furniture, models, and documents from its collaboration withENSA Normandie. This laboratory invites visitors to rethink the museum's functions through the lens of student creativity and the dialogue between past and present.

On Tuesday, May 13, 39 students from the Darnétal-based ENSA (Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture) came to immerse themselves in the typical environment of the Brotonne peninsula, accompanied by their teachers Luc Perrot and Jérôme Le Goff. Arriving by train at Yvetot station, they walked to La-Mailleraye-sur-Seine, first discovering the farmlands of the plateau, then crossing the Brotonne Bridge. Welcomed by Yves Delaune, deputy mayor of Arelaune-en-Seine and, above all, a geographer, they discussed the specific architectural and landscape features of the area, which includes wetlands and a large forest. For these future architects, it's a question of observing in order to imagine the future, by taking up the challenge of environmental transition, "by decarbonizing construction, designing passive houses with zero energy, and envisaging innovative forms of mobility".
For Luc Perrot, "it's essential to draw on the experience of local players and the knowledge of local residents and users".

May 28 to August 30, 2025 -

For several weeks, students fromENSA Normandie the city, sketchbooks in hand. Facades, windows, doors, corbels, and other architectural features were collected and drawn to create an inventory in the form of a leporello*. Using these architectural fragments gleaned here and there, the students composed "Another City," born of imaginary scenarios, built from identified forms, displaced volumes, and reinvented pieces. Come and discover these imaginary architectures, born out of a workshop supervised by Kacha Legrand and Stéphane Landais, teachers atENSA Normandie. Bachelor's degree students: S01 INSA, S02, S04.

Opening Wednesday, May 28, 7:00 pm
