The Cube Travels Through Europe
Like the ever-morphing Rubik’s cube, The Cube Pavilion is constantly in motion. Falling into the category of experimental architecture, it serves as a traveling restaurant, popping up in unexpected and exotic locations throughout Europe. Electrolux teamed up with Park Associati to create the traveling installment that kicked of its little road trip in Brussels, perched atop the Parc du Cinquantenaire, near the headquarters’ of the European Community.
The Cube will roam freely from sandy beaches to rocky mountaintops dishing up lunch and dinner in an intimate setting, while extending it’s stay in place no longer than twelve weeks. Lightweight materials and a ‘pop-up’ fabrication allows The Cube to be seamlessly transferred from one locale to another. Park chose to implement white and silver aluminum accents to allow the stricture to pop amidst rustic European settings.
To align with the brand and identity of Electrolux The Cube uses technologically innovative materials, eco-sustainability and energy saving as well as enabling constant re-use. Even the interiors can morph from a restaurant to a full-service lounge. The large dining table retracts into the ceiling, allowing for modular lounge furniture to take its place, giving a nod to its Rubik’s cube-like nature. So we have to ask, where would you love to see The Cube pop up next?
