Designed by Montreal-based landscape architects Claude Cormier, Pergola was a 2006 pop art piece comprised of 90,000 plastic balls arranged in the form of a wisteria bloom at Le Havre City Hall. A tribute to Monet, who spent his childhood there and much of whose work featured Wisteria, the piece works with an existing vine, creating an interesting juxtaposition between the artificial and the natural.
