Citylounge

A red carpet has enveloped the surface in and around the financial district of St. Gallen, a north-eastern city of Switzerland. A result of a competition, the 'Stadtlounge' (citylounge) was designed by artist Pipilotti Rist along with the Carlos Martinez architectural firm. The redness meanders through the functional office buildings, creating an inspiring and fun people-friendly space.

The entire ground, including cars and the road, have been covered in red broadloom, as part of a design competition to create a "public living room."

It's interesting how the fabric pours out over the streets and rises in curves to form ultra-chic couches dotted around, and also how objects such as cars are covered in a carpeted material making it part of the lounge. The car isn't functional in it's own right... it's part of a piece of art - there to be used as a piece of furniture.
