After 2 years of being housed in numerous different Parisian cultural institutions, the Chutes libres workshops are now located at the Viaduc des Arts. They offer workshops that are open to all and are led by professional designers, carpenters and cabinetmakers. Each participant can make objects using scrap wood recovered by Chutes libres from Parisian artisans and museums. The reused material is then cut up, drilled, assembled and sanded in order to create new objects: stools, shelves, coffee tables, etc. At the end of each workshop, participants go home with the piece of furniture they have created !
