Holon, Israel
Folly
The Design Museum Holon is intended as the reflection of Israeli de-
sign. The greater part of the Museum’s external appearance is shrou-
ded in five dominant bands of Corten steel structure, which undulate
and meander their way in, out and around the museum’s internal
volumes. The bands act as a spine for the building – both supporting
large parts of it structurally and dictating its posture in relation to its
surroundings. Our Folly bench, in the central court, recalls the shape
of this external shell.

Some materials for the building
were developed by the Foun-
dation’s own workshop, Atelier
Luma, and feature, among other
things,

coverings
made of bioplastics, algae-co-
loured tiles and acoustic elemen-
ts made of sunflowers. The in-
