Made up of five giant buoys moored to a 40-meter diameter deck, the installation is aimed at a wide audience, offering several ideas of use. The deck is a soothing walk, which invites contemplation of the large white volumes in their relationship 
to the water. The buoys, which host trampolines, are fun spots for those who want to jump or resting places for those who just dream of lying in the sun. You can stroll, take a walk, venture on the mesh bridges to reach the trampolines, jump and bounce constantly...

Vibrant under the twists and jumps, the whole structure reacts to spontaneous movements; it resonates with the joyful spirit of people it amplifies in return. The 200-meter long handrail solidifies the entire design, which seems to almost come to life from so much energy transfer.
