TEMPORARY SHOP 2008: L’ÉCHAPPÉE VERTE – A temporary shop in Paris to discover the natural charm of Novoceram
Novoceram, French ceramics manufacturer since 1863, recreates a dreamlike and surreal underworld with «L’Échappée Verte»: an interactive temporary shop in the heart of Paris to celebrate the achievement of the Ecolabel certification on the full range of products and raise awareness to the respect of nature.
Novoceram, the first French ceramic tiles manufacturer to have obtained the prestigious Ecolabel certification, presents “L’Echappée Verte”: a surreal temporary shop in the heart of Paris where you can discover the Natural Charme of Novoceram and approach the theme of ecology through an unforgettable interactive experience.
For only 18 days, “L’Echappée Verte” offers a unique chance to experience the thrill of a visionary last day out in nature before the end of summer and attend a full program of events and seminars in partnership with leading institutions involved in the defense of the environment.
The project L’echappée Verte draws an initiatory path that winds through a series of small rooms, involving visitors thanks to an imaginative design populated by animals, enchantments, fairies and other fairytale characters. The result is a series of twists and turns that surprise the visitor, who gradually loses the sense of reality to become the star of a fairytale world in which every object seems miraculously come alive.
The refined environmental friendly surfaces of the Novoceram products accompany the emotions of this magical tour, wrapping the five magical rooms: NoName, TrèsJouy, Florilège, Dentelle, Chamade.
To complete the meaning of the temporary shop “The Echappée Verte” and celebrate the conquest of the prestigious Ecolabel certification on its full range of products, Novoceram has chosen not to give a gadget as a souvenir of the visit, but to plant a tree on behalf of each registered visitor, who receives its adoption certificate to remember his ecological experience within the temporary shop.
To follow the backstage and all the secrets of “L’Échappée Verte” and to (re)discover all the other Novoceram events, visit the website or the Facebook page.
