What the project is
EPHEMERE SQUARE is a groundbreaking initiative that offers temporary design, modular, and sustainable solutions for events. The project provides a unique approach to event setups with its four distinct ranges of temporary setups available for rent. It answers the growing need for both aesthetic and sustainable designs in event spaces, from congresses and roadshows to pop-up stores and festivals. Designed like a giant LEGO® game, the standard modules assemble together effortlessly—merging style and flexibility in every customized booth or temporary space arrangement. This project, positioned in the rent/lease: other goods industry, truly redefines how events transform into eco‐friendly, engaging experiences.

Design that Merges Aesthetics and Ecology
The design philosophy of this project proves that reconciling design and ecology is absolutely possible! Gone are the days of traditional white tents and uninspired modular partitions. Instead, the emphasis is now on aesthetic, sustainable setups that are not only eco-friendly but also visually engaging. The structures challenge the norms by integrating art with responsible practices, encouraging a thoughtful approach to event design that honors both beauty and the environment. It may sound crazy, but achieving that balance is truly at the heart of the offering.
Modular Possibilities for Endless Creativity
The concept of modular design is at the core of the project. The structures can be assembled and reassembled much like a vast LEGO® set—each module, whether it’s a roof, wall, floor, or piece of furniture, opens up a multitude of creative possibilities. The emphasis on flexibility means that every event gets a unique touch. Whether it is a large-scale trade show or a more intimate pop-up event, the modular system ensures that every setup is adaptable to specific needs. There’s a sense of excitement when one considers that the only limit to what can be achieved is creativity itself… every piece harmonizes to offer an unforgettable experience.
Durable and Responsible Practices
Durability is another cornerstone of the project. With a focus on repair, restoration, and reuse, the system is designed to minimize structural waste after events. The use of 90% French wood from sustainably managed forests in the Massif Central reinforces the commitment to responsible sourcing and reducing environmental impact. Each setup is built to last and to be reconfigured for new events, echoing a responsible approach that ensures waste is kept to a minimum. This commitment to durability not only makes the project sustainable but also economically efficient for those entrusting their event setups to these innovative solutions.
Innovative Setups for Diverse Event Experiences
Variety is the spice of life, and the project’s diverse range of temporary setups certainly embodies that spirit. From the Classic Range, which offers structured modules reminiscent of a giant LEGO® game, to the Light Range that upgrades standard modular partitions into a chic wooden setup solution, the adaptability is evident. There are also French Cabins and Geodesic Domes that push the boundaries of conventional setups. Each option caters to different styles and functionalities, ensuring that every event—be it a high-profile congress or an intimate gathering—benefits from innovative design and sustainable practices. This mix of versatility and reliability encourages event organizers to experiment, adapt, and stand out.
