Les pralinés – pour tous
Vom 18. Juli bis 14. September 2025 entstand an der Frobenstrasse 41 in Basel ein Raum für Kunst, Design, Austausch und gemeinsames Gestalten. «Les pralinés – pour tous» war ein temporäres Kulturprojekt, das Ausstellungen, Pop-ups, Workshops, Lesungen und spielerische Events miteinander verband, zugänglich und lebendig.
Getragen von rund 50 Mitwirkenden aus Kunst, Design und Organisation schuf das Projekt Raum für junge, nicht-etablierte Kreative, die sich ausprobieren, vernetzen und sichtbar werden wollten. Im Mittelpunkt standen kollektive Verantwortung, niedrigschwellige Teilhabe und kreative Eigeninitiative.
Ob Cheap-Fine-Dining, Cocktails zur Ausstellung oder «Mal mir eine Blume und bekomm einen Kaffee» – das Programm lud zum Mitmachen und Verweilen ein.
Les pralinés – pour tous
From July 18 to September 14, 2025, a space for art, design, exchange, and collaborative creation took shape at Frobenstrasse 41 in Basel.
“Les pralinés – pour tous” was a temporary cultural project that brought together exhibitions, pop-ups, workshops, readings, and playful events, accessible and vibrant.
Supported by around 50 contributors from the fields of art, design, and organization, the project created a platform for young, non-established creatives who wanted to experiment, connect, and gain visibility.
At its core were collective responsibility, low-barrier participation, and creative initiative.
Whether it was cheap fine dining, cocktails at an exhibition, or “Paint me a flower and get a coffee”, the program invited everyone to join in and linger.

About us
The name of our project draws on the history of the place: the premises once housed the shop of a chocolate factory that stood behind the building. We pick up this story and carry it forward, in a broader sense:
For us, pralines stand not only for sweet delicacies, but symbolically for the beautiful, the special, the enjoyable. Our aim is to make such special moments, experiences, and content accessible to everyone, rather than reserving them for a privileged few.
The project is carried by around 50 co-creators who engage in a wide range of roles: from art, design, and curation to graphics, communication, and technical work, as well as photography, gastronomy, and organization. We are artists, designers, jewelry makers, and creative organizers. Most of us live, study, or work in the Basel region.
Together, we are shaping a self-curated space as a learning field and a platform for new ideas. We develop content, design the visual identity, take care of installation, lighting, and sound, document the project photographically, create culinary formats, and coordinate processes. Conceptual impulses and the further development of the project also emerge from this shared commitment.
Our actions are based on voluntary participation, personal initiative, and collective responsibility.
We all look forward to your visit, and to you becoming part of this project.
