THIS LEGACY. ‘l’atelier renault café’ offers traditional dishes that have been reinterpreted by chef daniel maslac, including a drinkable ham sandwich, curried sea snails and leek salad

side mirrors and a luxurious finely crafted trunk. the ‘IT-beret’, a symbol deeply embedded into the country’s culture image © 5.5 designstudio/c.clier A LITTLE BIT RIDICULOUS, BUT A CHIC


AND TIMELESS PIECE, THE BERET HAS BEEN TRANSFORMED INTO AN ‘IT’ FASHION ACCESSORY. made by laulhère, a company that has produced 100% french berets with artisanal tradition and quality for


more than 170 years. the ‘race marinière’ image © 5.5 designstudio/c.clier THE RACE STRIP REFERS TO THE INDIGO-BLUE-AND-WHITE STRIPED KNITTED SHIRT THAT WAS ORIGINALLY PART OF THE UNIFORM


FOR FRENCH NAVY SEAMEN. the ‘marinière’, has gradually gained an important place in the fashion world, this reinterpretation consists of small modular tables, reminiscent of the grooves of a


slot car race track. ‘solo race’, escargots have graced the tables of nobility since the middle ages image © 5.5 designstudio/c.clier TODAY, THIS RECIPE WITH PARSLEY BUTTER IS PART OF


FRANCE’S CULINARY TRADITION. resembling the plate on which they are normally served, 5.5 decided to cook them up in a different way, with the snail shells lacquered in automotive paint.


‘vroum pétanque’ refers to this favorite pastime in france image © 5.5 designstudio/c.clier EXPERIENCED DURING THE RENAISSANCE, THE NAME COMES FROM THE PROVENÇAL PÈ, ‘FOOT’, AND TANCA,


‘STAKE’, signifying playing with your feet on the ground. in 1904, a félix rofritsch began manufacturing the first wooden boules studded with nails ‘la boule bleue’. 5.5 collaborated with


them to create ones that leave tyre tread marks as they roll toward the cochonnet, or jack. the ‘carentaise’, a celebrated slipper made in the 17th century image © 5.5 designstudio/c.clier


ORIGINALLY MADE FROM FROM SCRAPS OF THE FELT USED IN THE MANUFACTURING OF MILITARY UNIFORMS, they become known as ‘charentaises’ to identify with the charente region. based on the racing-car


shape, 5.5 decided to turn the footwear into speedsters. the design was created with la charentaise tcha, a manufacturer of charentaise. the ‘coq cage’ image © 5.5 designstudio/c.clier THE


GALLIC ROOSTER IS OFTEN CONSIDERED A NATIONAL SYMBOL – the cages were influenced by the front grilles of cars, they can be easily stacked to form storage units and feature elastic band


dividers. ‘frankey’ USB’s are based on france’s tricolour flag of bleu, blanc and rouge image © 5.5 designstudio/c.clier BLUE IS THE COLOUR OF PARIS, WHITE IS THE COLOUR OF THE FRENCH


MONARCHY AND RED REPRESENTS THE BLOOD SHED DURING THE FRENCH REVOLUTION. 5.5 designed a USB flash drive shaped like a key for the brand laCie.  ‘mustache effect’ image © 5.5


designstudio/c.clier THERE ARE MANY CLICHÉS ABOUT FRANCE AND THE MUSTACHE IS ONE OF THE STRONGEST. based on a car’s side-view mirror, the looking glass will put both a mustache and a smile


on your face. ‘cork car’ image © 5.5 designstudio/c.clier IN REFERENCE TO FRENCH WINE, 5.5 has turned the traditional cylindrical solid-cork stopper into a miniature car, customizable with


felt pens. ‘show glass’ image © 5.5 designstudio/c.clier DURALEX GLASS FOLLOWS THE LATIN EXPRESSION ‘DURA LEX’, SED LEX’, MEANING ‘THE LAW IS TOUGH, BUT IT IS THE LAW’. the name references


the quality of this quasi-unbreakable glass. since its launch in 1946, the glass is engraved in the collective memory of french youth. sitting upside down on a turned wood stand, the small


glass dome becomes a display for collectibles. _designboom has received this project from our ‘__DIY submissions__‘ feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their own work for
