REBIRTH is a unique futuristic and provoking wooden sculpture by Belgian designer and artist, Arne Quinze commissioned for the well-known and distinguished five-star Paris hotel Le Royal Monceau on Avenue Hoche. The hotel will undergo a revamp courtesy of Philippe Starck, closing its doors for a full year.
REBIRTH debuted during an exclusive ‘Demolition Party’ and seemingly was pretty short lived since a group of exclusive VIP guests got to tear the building to shreds in ‘demolition style’ to celebrate the future redesign of the space.

I just heard about these. Must have been incredible to see. The technique seems like it would be extremely flammable (like kindling).
