After six years, the door to faithfully restored ‘Apartment 50’ at Le Corbusier’s Unité d’Habitation in Marseille, has opened to the public once more with an exhibition of collectible, experimental objects by French designers Marie & Alexandre. Inspired by the creative salons of the apartment’s original owner Lilette Ripert, who lived there from 1952 to 2000, today’s owners Jean-Marc Drut and Patrick Blauwart have invited designers such as Jasper Morrison, Pierre Charpin, Alessandro Mendini and a cohort of ECAL students to interpret the living space with a contemporary scenography every two years between 2008 to 2018.
