WEEK IN REVIEW SERPENTINE PAVILION 2025: INTERVIEW WITH MARINA TABASSUM designboom spoke with Marina Tabassum, this year's Serpentine pavilion architect, ahead of its opening on June 6th. Titled A Capsule in Time, the project explores themes of impermanence, tactility, and light through a modular, timber-built structure designed to move, adapt, and ultimately disappear. ‘The pavilion is called A Capsule in Time for many reasons,’ Tabassum tells us. ‘One is that I find the connection between architecture and time quite intriguing (…) pavilions have a temporality, which is not about time but about a moment—to embrace and enjoy it.’ Read our conversation in full here, and discover more recent interviews here. TRANSFORMING THE SIMPLE HANGER INTO A DIY TOY COLLECTION In Jeu de Cintre, aequo.design transforms the standardized, utilitarian hanger into a playful toy collection using just a few simple tools. Sculptural birds, dinosaurs, planes, boats and more take shape, each crafted from just one hanger, with a manufacturing process intentionally simplified down to essentials to suit all ages and skill levels.
