Quite an unusual sculpture, isn’t it? Made from two interlaced arches of shipping containers, the Catène de Containers is a bold tribute to a city shaped by its port. Colourful, eye-catching, and totally unique, this striking installation was created by artist Vincent Ganivet to mark Le Havre’s 500th anniversary. He used the catenary method to build it, a technique made famous by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí, which allows arches to stand on their own, without any additional support. Now a symbol of the city, the Catène de Containers brings a vibrant splash of colour to the Nelson Mandela Esplanade and captures the spirit of Le Havre in a single, unforgettable image.
