This shop, called Artefact, specializes in making and repairing architectural models. It's one of the places along the Viaduc des Arts, a very, very successful rehab of a railroad viaduct. The top became the Promenade Plantée (which inspired NYC's High Line), and the vaults below were divided into 64 spaces and given glass walls front and back. Artists and artisans work there now, creating porcelain and parasols, leather goods, furniture, fine art, and more. [Linking back to Weekend Reflections and to The Weekend in Black and White.] |
