Thanks to a loan from Sanofi, a partner of Paris 2024 Olympic Games, discover Zeus, a unique work that blends art, technology and design. Designed by atelier blam, an architecture and design studio based in Nantes (France), this living sculpture embodies a popular and accessible vision, intended to inspire all audiences. The fruit of collaboration between the various skills at the studio blam (boilermaker, mechanics, engineers, designers, architects), Zeus is presented from October 1^st in the Cour Royale of the Palace of Versailles, as part of the “Zeus Cavalcade ”.
