‘moquette-maquette’ by edouard francois

 

 

 

french architect edouard francois in collaboration with luc vincent designed ‘moquette-maquette’  for an organization that annually invites a designer to create a maze. he was influenced by the work of french author victor hugo. francois realized the maze, aptly enough, in a field of maize near colmar, haut rhin, france.
