Paco is a box of 3m x 3m x 3m cube, with a \u201clid\u201d on top that opens to a certain angle. It is something between architecture and furniture; too small for architecture, but too big for furniture. It is just big enough for a person to get in and use as a secret hideout.\u00a0This was originally the largest product we managed to construct at Happa, intended to function as the smallest architecture where a person would be able to live.<\/span><\/p>\n
