Walk around Paris' La Défense district and you can't miss it. Like a
giant stick of candy, Cheminée Moretti dominates its surroundings
deliciously. Designed by late French artist Raymond Moretti, it reaches
towards the clouds like a rainbow-colored skyscraper - albeit with no
doors or windows.
Also known simply as
Le Moretti,
the structure was completed in 1990 and inaugurated in 1995. The
multi-hued tower is really a 105-foot (32-meter) high ventilation
chimney that has been covered in 672 colored tubes made out of durable
fiberglass.
