An interactive Chanel room is among the spaces to discover inside the France Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka, which French firm Coldefy and Italian studio Carlo Ratti Associati have fronted with a giant copper staircase.
Positioned on a wedge-shaped site beside the USA Pavilion, the structure has a reusable steel frame and draws on references ranging from romance and connectedness to theatre architecture.
Its focal point is the winding copper-clad staircase, which defines the front elevation and rises to meet an observation deck. This is a nod to the Japanese legend Akai Ito, which suggests that people destined to meet are tied by an unbreakable red string.
