Le Refuge

This year’s IT thing to photograph and obsessively post on Instagram is Le Refuge, a pink “jungle” bed installation designed by artist Marc Ange at the Wallpaper* Handmade exhibition space during Milan Design Week.

Over 3,000 posts were uploaded on Instagram referring to it as “magical” and a “fairy tale”.

The artist Marc Ange calls it “a place where one finds comfort and peace. It is the projection of a childhood memory. Its large leaves form a shelter under the sun, away from reality, just like those of the imaginary jungle that grows in the room of a child who seeks escape.”

We can’t resist these giant pink metal leaves and the beautiful shadows it creates. We need one in our office.
