before its debut, designboom visited the ‘les grandes tables de l’île seguin‘, a temporary restaurant on seguin island in boulogne-billancourt, france, which officially opened to the public on september 12, 2011. french practice 1024 architecture has completed the ephemeral structure nestled within an extensive garden provides elevated views of the seine river and surrounding vegetation. after its two year lifespan, the delicate framework will be disassembled and removed without leaving a trace of its existence.
