The brand LU is back this year with its Atelier des Possibles to give a second life to the corrugated cardboard from Véritable Petit Beurre de LU packs, a great classic from our childhood.
This initiative, launched with the famous designer Matali Crasset, aims to create original pieces by recycling the corrugated cardboard from their famous biscuit packs.
For spring 2014, the Atelier des Possibles is launching a creative challenge for internet users from April 28th to June 13th: create an object out of corrugated cardboard that illustrates your dearest dream, and the best ideas will naturally be rewarded.
Alongside this, the Atelier des Possibles also invites little Parisians aged 7 to 12 to learn about Do It Yourself crafts using corrugated cardboard by participating in free workshops at the Cité de l’Architecture & du Patrimoine.
The extra perk: exclusively, children will also enjoy a private tour of the museum.
4 two-hour workshops are offered:
- Wednesday, May 14th from 3 pm to 5 pm
- Saturday, May 17th from 4 pm to 6 pm
- Wednesday, May 21st from 3 pm to 5 pm
- Saturday, May 24th from 4 pm to 6 pm
To register for the Atelier des Possibles workshops (subject to availability, i.e., 15 spots per workshop), you must send an email with your Last Name, First Name, mobile number, email address, and preferred date to: LUatelierdespossibles@eventinternational.com
