Only in Paris. Montreal-based sculptor and artist Michel Goulet has taken discarded green iron French park chairs and turned them into poetry-points, gracing the beautiful gardens of the Palais Royal.
Goulet redesigned the classic chairs and made them into 10 love seats. The back of each chair is engraved with a quote or short verse from a world-famous poet with their name below. And to complete the experience there is a portal to plug your headset into and listen to the poems in their entirety. Goulet's objective was to make poetry more accessible to the public.
So take a seat and immerse yourself poetry, within a public space that is amongst the most beautiful in Europe. The image is from David Leibowitz's Eye Prefer Paris newsletter.
