Chaufferie avec cheminée, Monumental sculpture in Vitry-sur-Seine, France

The sculpture stands 14 meters tall with a cubic base of 4.55 by 4.15 meters, featuring a swirling peak that rises from its foundation point.

Jean Dubuffet designed the model in 1970 as a heating system cover for Villa Falbala, but the project was completed in 1996, after his death.

The sculpture belongs to Dubuffet's Hourloupe cycle, characterized by white backgrounds, black edges, and areas filled with red and blue linear patterns.

The sculpture is located at Carrefour de la Liberation roundabout, accessible via bus routes 180 and 172, with stops at the nearby Mac Val museum.

The structure combines epoxy resin, fiberglass, and polyurethane materials to create its distinctive form, making it the second tallest polychrome Dubuffet sculpture in public space.
