dutch design studio overtreders w (reinder bakker, hester van dijk) has designed ‘the roof that goes up in smoke’, a mobile outdoor pavilion that consists of an inflatable canopy structure. created for allerzielen.nu, an event centered around commemorating the dead through accessible and artistic means on all souls’ day, the project was installed in three different locations in the south of holland: at a graveyard in roosendaal, at an institution for mental health in biezenmortel and at a graveyard in breda.

dining tables

consisting of two large picnic tables which act as bases, the cloud-like roof is filled with the hot air created from a wood stove. hot chocolate, roasted chestnuts, pumpkin soup and jacket potatoes could be made and shared. able to sit up to forty people at once, the light of the pavilion is provided by the canopy which is lit from within to glow like a lantern.
