Library - Nice, France

Perforated sheets for facade and sun shielding

To convert a small "square head" of the famous Sacha Sosno sculpture into a huge library was an incredible challenge. It required a variety of trials before selecting the pattern to achieve a close copy of the original. The perforation needed to be as transparent as possible from the inside but appear opaque from the outside. Two criteria which in principle are contradictory. To meet this challenge, RMIG perforation pattern C5.5U8 soon proved to be most the suitable.
