Project
The design of objects establishes a personality, an identity. It is not neutral as it must express the network, the global, as well as fitting in with the multiple different architectural approaches that are the wealth of the Grand Paris Express project.
The lyrical and sculptural ambition of the design requires that it quietly express its era. Its own personality persists, even in very different configurations and environments. All the objects and products have an impact on the space, and so have been conceived as clean, smooth and ergonomically irreproachable, in the spirit of Good Design. They are formed by constraint and their relationship with the human body.
