YokYok is a design workshop. It is composed of Samson Lacoste and Luc Pinsard architects, Laure Qaremy teacher and Pauline Lazareff architect-engineer. It grows for each specific project. When other knowledges are necessary, the workshop becomes multidisciplinary. YokYok was founded in 2009 by Steven Fuhrman, Samson Lacoste and Luc Pinsard after their degree at the school of architecture Paris-Val-de-Seine.

YokYok tries to adopt different project scales, from urban projects to micro-architecture. Different time scales lead to think of the living dimension of architecture. Ephemeral installations, rehabilitation, transformation, mobile, light or long-term evolutionary projects are many tools that can give life to object-architecture and that are settled throughout our work.

PROJECTS

The Treedom Social Installation in Alberobello

The Treedom presents itself as a multifunctional pavilion discreetly nestled in the heart of the city of Alberobello, Puglia. Created by the Yok Yok studio for the Light Festival 2023, it is a low-tech wooden structure made with local materials and typical stones of the region. It offers benches and bar counters for socializing, creating a symbolic silhouette in the urban landscape.

Stage for the creative district of Shanghai. A colourful combination of geometry and materiality

For the first time the Atelier Yok Yok Studio has created a temporary pavilion in Shanghai, in the artistic district of Changning. A stage like a cobalt muffin destined to host concerts and open-air events.

Garden in France. Textile Structure blends with Light and Curiosity

A bewitching garden in Cahors, in France unravels, stretching under the gaze of curious passer-bys. The sacred architecture that overlooks it is concretized here in all its dematerialized dimensions
