Acoustic rhythm

The brief was to create functional areas using the ceiling, give the whole a less industrial, more person-focused almost homely feel at the staff restaurant on the ground floor of the new Enedis building designed by 2/3/4 architects in Courbevoie, north-west of Paris. The interior designers from Saguez and Partners who worked on the acoustic challenges, chose Stereo.

“We designed slatted timber units that divide the restaurant areas up”, explains Stéphanie Ablard, project leader. “The softness of the knitted fabric and the natural colours of the textile ceiling set the units off beautifully without closing the space in. The accent lighting rails hang outside and at the same height as the panels, which by lowering the height of the volume, also makes this enormous ground-floor area feel more welcoming and individual, while subtly adding brightness.” To conclude, this decorative design that imparts familiarity, almost a feeling of being at home, is essential for the comfort of users.
