6 months agogreen and red ceramic tiles clad sculptural daybed by uchronia at hotel plaza athenee, paris
In the Cour Jardin of the Hôtel Plaza Athénée, , , Univers Uchronia has unveiled Daybed, a large-scale installation that reinterprets the garden through materiality, color, and form. The work, on view until 11th November, 2025, functions as both sculptural object and inhabitable space, establishing a dialogue between contemporary design and the historic setting of the Plaza Athénée. At the center of the project is a ceramic surface designed in collaboration with Dutch brand Palet. The installation is clad in Palet's glazed tiles, whose dimensions (149 x 149 mm) and color flexibility formed the basis for Uchronia's architectural composition.
