Status
A speculative universe and public interface prototype, organised as an observation laboratory for hybrid plant life.
Speculative botany / Interface
Xenoflora
A narrative laboratory where hybrid plants are observed through their signals, rhythms and behaviours.

Discover Xenoflora — ouvre une nouvelle fenêtre / opens in a new windowProject position
Xenoflora turns a fictional universe into a browsable system: specimens, protocols, signals and relationships become interface material.
Intention
To create a credible narrative device where visitors do not simply read a story; they consult the organised traces of a fictional living system.
Project overview
Xenoflora is built as a speculative botany laboratory. It combines narration, visual direction, information design and observational logic. Its aim is not only to invent hybrid plants, but to create credible conditions for studying them.
Project notes
System
The project works as a fictional knowledge base rather than a linear narrative page.
Credibility
Text, visuals and navigation make the imaginary structured enough to be consulted.
Visible evidence
This project demonstrates how fiction can become a credible, browsable information system.
01 / Interface system
The project organises the world into legible modules: specimens, protocols, signals and navigation.
02 / Narrative laboratory
The imaginary is presented as an observation space, not as simple science-fiction decor.
03 / Living archive
The structure suggests an evolving system able to host new specimens and relationships.
04 / Information design
Fictional content becomes browsable through hierarchy, naming and pathways.
Method
The project is structured through modules: specimen files, protocols, terminology, fictional ecological relationships and navigation paths. The interface gives this system a public form without breaking its scientific-fictional atmosphere.
Contribution
World concept, narration, visual direction, archive architecture and interface design.
Outputs
- Living archive
- Specimen files
- Observation protocols
- Interface system
- Visual identity
How it is built
01
World
Define the botanical logic, signals and atmosphere of the laboratory.
02
Taxonomy
Organise specimens, categories and relationships to make the world browsable.
03
Interface
Give the archive a clear web form without neutralising its strangeness.
Professional uses
Concrete contexts where this project can serve as a reference, method or professional starting point.
01 / Speculative universe
A base for developing a fictional world with rules, language, signals and a browsable logic.
02 / Narrative interface
An example of turning an imaginary world into a web journey, archive and consultation system.
03 / Information design
A method for organising taxonomy, files, protocols and relationships into a legible form.
