Decoration that reflects the city
Our client, a major insurance company, is opening its new offices, "Les Ateliers d'Angers", in an 8-storey building classified E+C- (Positive Energy and Carbon Reduction Building).
Its aim is to welcome its employees in a functional, warm and welcoming environment, designed exclusively for their well-being. A green and dynamic environment that reflects the image of Angers, voted the most pleasant town in France in 2022 by the Association des villes et villages de France où il fait bon vivre.
With this in mind, we have designed a personalised, collaborative space.
Expectations
"Our customer's wish - and ours - is that every employee should feel at home in their city and their professional environment, and be proud of it!
We proposed to our client an original creation celebrating the beauty of the city of Angers (its city centre, its monuments and its surroundings) with plants as the main theme.
So we came up with sets based on a range of colours inspired by nature, the seasons and the flora of the nature reserves along the Loire.
To highlight the beauty of the city, we didn't hesitate to mix graphics and photography. We played with a wide range of materials, paying particular attention to eco-friendly materials, in line with the E+C- label.
Focus on media
We have selected specific materials to adapt our designs to the different employee areas (reception, common areas, offices, meeting rooms, etc.).
The murals and gradients were mainly printed on PVC-free materials, with photos of Angers printed on PMMA fixed to spacers.
To personalise the space, we also asked our customer to create some original decorative elements: decorative panels printed on OSB, relief paintings cut from wood, signage elements in mirror dibond and wood, a vine leaf and a log of wood printed on a mirror, etc.
The vineyards are in the spotlight, with bunches of grapes made from mirrors... and corks!
And for the finishing touch, we created a bookcase around a stabilised tree, and a shelf covered with a PMMA cut-out representing the Angers skyline.
The result?
Design, production and installation of 600 m² of decor, including 350 m² of wall cladding and 200 m² of glazing, to decorate offices and meeting rooms with a touch of nature while maintaining confidentiality.
A project that came to fruition in stages, thanks to a serious and experienced methodology, and the synergy of a professional team of passionate people!
