Modular space and furniture design to exhibit the research of the Enerbat departement of EDF at the Renardières site with Clément Tissandier and Gilles Rougon

Located in the lobby of a EDF reseach center, this space has two goals. In the entrance, it’s shelves welcome the newest work and allow discussion. In the back, a café with a warm and cosy athmosphere engages you to chat or simply relax.

The furniture is entierly modular and fits anywhere in the space , it adapts to the difference of content. A grid of rails holds, thanks to a simple fold in the aluminium, shelves, pedestal tables and magnetic poster backgrounds.
