We were commissioned by mk2 to concept, design, produce, and brand a first-of-its-kind VR center, a new cultural space in Paris at the Bibliothèque Francois Mitterand.

Converging our design approach and the latest interactive technology, a nonagonal structure intermixes metal, wood, fabric, and 3D prints to provide a bespoke immersive and collaborative virtual reality experience. The mk2 VR logo illustrates the meeting of the Virtual and the Real that gives birth to a third space. Symbolized by the use of the trapeze, it echoes the nonagonal floor pattern of the VR pods. The shape is modular and mutates with its content.

The innovative open-ended design, housed in a 14m-tall, 150m2 glass cube, centralises trapezoidal VR pods around a core technical structure, allowing users to freely interact in virtual reality unrestrained by cables or walls.
