Presse hydraulique Bliss, Industrial press at Chandon-République district, Gennevilliers, France
The Bliss hydraulic press stands 7 meters tall, weighs 155 tons, and features a fixed frame with vertical motion capabilities for metal sheet forming.

The city preserved this industrial machine as a public monument, transforming it into an art installation through collaborations with artists Michel Verjux and Philippe Daney.
The machine occupies a ground space of 2.2 by 4.2 meters and contains components made primarily of cast iron and steel materials.
This automatic electric press combines industrial heritage with artistic expression, marking the location of former Chausson factories in the urban landscape.
