Urban Furniture at 104, Paris: Innovation and Design for Teenagers

The Urban Furniture exhibition at 104 Paris presented the innovative designs of students from the École Nationale des Arts Décoratifs, showcasing 3D models of urban furniture specifically created for teenagers. These groundbreaking projects focused on the fusion of functionality, design, and youth culture, reimagining how public spaces can be adapted to engage adolescents in a meaningful way.

A key feature of the exhibition was the integration of augmented reality via BavAR[t], offering visitors an interactive and dynamic experience with the furniture designs. Using their smartphones, attendees could explore the 3D models in real-time, adding an immersive layer to the display and creating a deeper connection to the designs. This innovative use of technology bridged the gap between traditional design and cutting-edge augmented reality.

This event not only provided students with a platform to showcase their ideas but also demonstrated the potential of technology to transform design experiences. By merging art, architecture, and augmented reality, the exhibition offered a fresh, engaging perspective on the future of urban spaces, emphasizing creativity and inclusivity for young people.
