Burkinab\u00e9 architect Di\u00e9b\u00e9do Francis K\u00e9r\u00e9 has created a temporary retail space for shoe brand Camper inside a domed building at the Vitra Campus. K\u00e9r\u00e9\u2019s installation at the Swiss furniture brand\u2019s headquarters, comprises two ring-shaped structures filled with shelves for displaying both information and shoes.<\/p>\n

It was constructed to coincide with the Making Africa exhibition at the nearby Vitra Design Museum, in which the architect\u2019s work is featured, and the Camper: Life on Foot exhibition at London\u2019s Design Museum.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Vitra and Camper pop-up project gives visitors to the Vitra Campus a chance to experience a real-life example of K\u00e9r\u00e9\u2019s work,\u201d said a statement from Vitra.<\/p>\n

The tent-like structure is held up by a triangular grid of aluminium poles, and was added to Vitra\u2019s campus at Weil am Rhein, Germany, in 2000 to provide a flexible event space. Accessed through a triangle-shaped opening in the material, the dome is currently hosting K\u00e9r\u00e9\u2019s two connected oval structures.<\/p>\n

The concentric shelving units are constructed from a wood-based material called blockboard \u2013 made by Vitra-owned company Vizona \u2013 with larger surfaces covered in white laminate, while the wood grain is left exposed along the edges.<\/p>\n

The wider, lower ring contains teasers from the two exhibitions, including samples of K\u00e9r\u00e9\u2019s work and examples of Camper\u2019s stores by designers including Kengo Kuma, Nendo and the Bouroullec brothers.<\/p>\n

The taller inner structure displays designs from Camper\u2019s Autumn Winter 2015-16 range towards the bottom, and stacks of the Spanish brand\u2019s signature red shoe boxes around the top.<\/p>\n

Multiple gaps in the structures allow access to the central space, which is open at the top to let in the light filtered through the translucent dome.<\/p>\n

The Vitra Campus comprises a group of buildings, pavilions and structures designed by some of the world\u2019s most famous architects. Along with older projects by Zaha Hadid, Herzog & de Meuron and Tadao Ando, recent additions have included a viewing tower with a slide by Carsten H\u00f6ller and a tiny wooden cabin by Renzo Piano.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
