Louvre Lens

2016

The Louvre Lens Project is a call for project led by the eponymous museum in order to create mediation tools allowing the people in hospitals or prisons to discover the art works without having to move.

ESAAT is part of this call of projects by creating groups of two undergraduate students and one postgraduate student in Product Design.

The design of mediation tools is focused on the museum architecture, the mining history of the city of Lens, the understanding of the pieces of art processes and their renovation, their lexicon and the materials used.

The aim of these mediations is to bring the museum to people who can not go, and to allow them to discover it a brand new way. These tools have to be educational but also resistant and easy to carry.

The difference modules representing the  museum architecture are also storage boxes for the various tools: 3D prints, perfumes, material samples, etc… Everything stored into a drawing pad looking-like suitcase.

 

After few conversations with the museum, some concepts had been selected to be tested with a real public. 

The chosen concepts had been made by the woodworker César Dumont and are now used but he museum since February 2019.
