Saint-Gobain, the world leader in the habitat and construction, markets, designs, manufactures and distributes high-performance and building materials providing innovative solutions to the challenges of growth, energy efficiency and environmental protection.
Although the above description doesn’t sound that sexy, Saint Gobain has installed some snazzy futuristic pavilions on Place de la Concorde to celebrate their 350th anniversary. Future Sensations is a traveling exhibition showing off the innovation and future. So far the installation has traveled to Philadelphia, Shanghai, and Sao Paulo and the four pavilions are named LISTEN, CREATE, COLOR, and LOOK.
I stepped inside the COLOR Pavilion, a carousel of traditional colored glass and laminate glass and experienced a dizzying kaleidoscope of multi-dimensional color surrounding the Place de la Concorde. I loved contrast of the gray day against the colors so much, I took a ton of photos.
I didn’t have time to visit the other pavilions, so if you go, let me know how they were.
Future Sensations – Saint Gobain 350
Till October 31
Open daily 10AM-6PM, 8PM on Saturday
Free admission
