  • Value proposition

    Today one of the most renowned and versatile open-air laboratory for design and architecture worldwide. Since 1990

    Domaine de Boisbuchet is a French country estate where Alexander von Vegesack, co-founder and director of the Vitra Design Museum from 1988 to 2011, established a non-profit center for design education.

    Since 20 years we are known for our workshops on design and related disciplines conducted by internationally acclaimed experts.
    We also organize exclusive design seminars as well as international competitions tailored for companies from various fileds. We did these for Faurecia, Amorim, Bosch, Hermès, Kvadrat, Vitra, Legrand, and Corning, amongst others.

    In the course of past years our workshops originated several innovative buildings, which now enrich the splendid setting of the Domaine – bamboo-structures by Simón Vélez, Markus Heinsdorff and Anna Heringer, a paper pavilion by Shigeru Ban, tensile cupolas by Jörg Schlaich and wood constructions by Brückner&Brückner.

    Each year this castle provides a unique setting for temporary exhibitions about design, architecture and related subjects. So far this programme comprises exhibitions about vernacular architecture, Japanese objects made of recycled aluminium, the dutch designer Maria Blaisse, 20th century's lamp design, Alexander von Vegesack's private design collection, Colombian architect Simón Vélez and Japanese Boro textiles from the 19th century.

    All of our initiatives in as well as outside of Boisbuchet are aiming at design education in a large sense. Students as well as professionals are coming here in order to know how internationally successful professionals structure their work and how they approach and tackle design problems.

    Our workshops as well as our architectural park and last not least our exhibitions provide manifold new insights and inspirations into the relevance of responsible design for our environment.

    Laboratoire de design et d'architecture le plus réputé et le plus polyvalent au monde. Depuis 1990

    A l’origine, Boisbuchet était un rêve, celui d’un expert et amateur de design : Alexander von Vegesack. Il souhaitait créer un lieu où le design rencontrerait la formation au sens large du terme. Alors, il y a 25 ans, il a acheté les 150 hectares du Domaine de Boisbuchet. Depuis, des professionnels et des étudiants y viennent chaque année pour faire l’expérience de la découverte des méthodes par lesquelles des professionnels au succès d’une portée internationale structurent leur travail, et comment ces derniers abordent les problématiques du design. Nos ateliers d’été, notre parc architectural, nos expositions el notre communauté variée, constituent les multiples perspectives et sources d’inspiration qui seront à l’origine d’une expérience créative unique.

    Chaque année, nous invitons les architectes et les designers les plus motivants du monde entier à venir diriger un atelier d’une semaine au Domaine de Boisbuchet dans le sud-ouest de la France. Chaque tuteur prend en compte l’environnement naturellement inspirant et élabore un thème sur lequel les participants vont s’appuyer. Chaque atelier est l’occasion d’une expérience de terrain exceptionnelle, avec la garantie d’apprendre par la pratique à travers les matériaux et les moyens qu’apporte le Domaine de Boisbuchet. Tout au long de la semaine, les participants découvriront les procédés et les techniques qu’utilisent les meilleurs designers, et ils auront l’opportunité d’échanger avec des personnes passionnées qui partagent la même vision des choses.
