Over the past few months we have been forced to spend most of our days indoors, often with little or limited range of motion. The desire to spend moments of our day also outside invites us to imagine new objects that can be in support of a new period in which open-air spaces become the setting for multiple work, leisure or meeting activities.

Architects, designers, artists, craftsmen, creatives are called to design and model an object for going back to outdoor living. The winning projects will be built and exhibited by Atelier Mobile.

Designers are challenged to create an object that can be used for outdoor living in a period divided between social-distancing and the desire to return to live in public spaces. The object must be selfbuildable, easy to assemble, with limited dimensions and cost, recyclable (or composed by
elements that can be reused even individually) and transportable. The object must have one or more defined functions and a clear use to respond to concrete needs.
