Systeme T
Support
Polieco Group, Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles
The Système T project explores a material from the invisible spaces, the interstices of our houses. The plastic sheath made in polypropylene is used to protect cables from electrical installations. It is a recyclable and inexpensive material that resists shocks and weather. Its shape and mechanical properties were the starting point. The plastic sheath is broken down and put back together like a construction set. While keeping its original character as an engineering object, its assembly brings it an improved aesthetic and functional value. «Système T» suggests a reinterpretation of matter consumption and industrial standardization that opens to multiple variations and personal appropriations. By stripping off structures and layers’ houses, the project questions the devices that separate the private from the outside, the hidden from the visible. It echoes what builds our intimacy needs.

- ICTA Sheath, polypropylene rope
- Partnership Polieco Group
- Turborama is a partition which is deployed like a curtain, functional outside as well as inside, as a spatial separator, filter or shadow screen. It is made from an inexpensive recyclable plastic material, an ICTA sheath (polypropylene), which is extremely durable. The tube, a construction component usually hidden inside walls, is here much more visible. It is created by hand-knotting, allowing for variations in rhythms, colors and density, and allowing for placement in many different combinations and dimensions.
