To coincide with the major retrospective devoted to the architect, cabinetmaker and decorator Maxime Old, the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rouen is inaugurating a new space, "Le Laboratoire Maxime Old", designed in collaboration with 3rd-year students from the École nationale supérieure d'Architecture de Rouen as part of the "Situation" workshop. Supervised by three teachers from different disciplines: Sophie Cambrillat (architect), Dominique Lefrançois (sociologist) and Kacha Legrand (visual artist), this student team reinvented Maxime Old's furniture for the 21st century, rethinking forms, materials and uses in a contemporary context.
