Inside the student centre at Polytechnique Montréal, Canada, is a public lounge area that has been designed by Menkès Shooner Dagenais LeTourneux Architectes. As part of the student lounge area, they designed a length of seating that transforms into the ceiling.

Wood ribs positioned tightly against each other make up the seat. Some of them continue and extend to become a ceiling detail, drawing your eye upwards.
