Prestige meets modern design
Soft colours and an elegant design
An office on the famous Boulevard Haussmann, one of the most prestigious locations in Paris, has only one purpose – to represent.
Paul Hastings, the international US-based law firm, had equally high ambitions, when it came to furnishing its Paris offices. General contractors were the architects of AOS/Paris, while the interior design was conceived by DMJM Interior/L.A. The project was managed by Bene France together with Paris-based trade partner Silvera Mobilier.
The corporate design was to reflect the corporate identity in the stylish premises of the turn-of-the-century edifice, along with carefully selected colours and materials fit for the structural requirements.
The historical building substance was carefully combined with modern interior design, mutually enhancing new and old elements and allowing intriguing and unusual contrasts.
Bene designed with especial care a balanced colour and material concept. Soft and light colours from the Bene Spectrum; oak sylt and canvas, in various nuances, form a consistent theme that is in perfect unison with the style of the building.
A harmonious composition was also created for the interior design. Or in other words: Furniture and walls speak for themselves. In terms of function, Bene developed both for individual areas and the open office solutions commensurate with the standing of a law firm.
Amongst others, furniture from the T and AL lines was used. Partitioning, functional walls and cabinets included: R3, RG, R2, R0, K2, L2 and W3. Further products used were provided by Bene’s trade partners Knoll International (chairs) and Poltrona (visitor seating).
