Interior design of a break room in a company's offices
- Location: La Chapelle-sur-Erdre (44)
- Objective: To create a space for relaxation, interaction, dining, and games
It was agreed with the client to design a space in the spirit of a village square. We created a central tree structure incorporating furniture positioned in the middle of the room.
The tree structure, lit from within, is made of matte black perforated metal. The cladding of the trunk structure, evoking bark, is crafted from sculpted Red Cedar boards. The wood is oiled, and the floor protections are in black powder-coated steel. The tabletops are made of multi-layer beech with a satin varnish finish, while the backsplashes near the exterior joinery are in tinted Plexiglass. Adhesive cut-out leaves were applied under the tree branches, as well as on the floor and glazing.
We also installed a pixel art panel depicting the city of Nantes, a yellow freestanding mailbox inspired by La Poste (suggestion box), a red cuckoo clock, and a foosball table accessible to people with reduced mobility.
The brief also included the design and construction of a fence to accommodate a beehive area (approximately 5 hives) and a storage shed for beekeeping equipment.
The fence is made of wood and Corten steel. The Corten steel sheets were perforated to depict a bee pollinating flowers. The design of the elevated wooden storage shed (approximately 4 m²) is inspired by a beehive, featuring a folded galvanized steel roof.
Project carried out in collaboration with Atelier Barbatruc, CL Concept and Claude Industrie
