This architectural project gave the Palace of Versailles a new entrance area, the floor of which was equipped with the Versailles parquet in the original format of SPIN® Ferrit and SPIN® Brass from Hoba Steel. Other rooms and hallways received plank-format floors. Seven staircases were equipped with steps made of SPIN® Ferrit.
Modern materials such as ferrite steel and brass were used to translate the long and complex architectural history of Versailles Palace into a contemporary museum building. The design and original installation pattern were consistently maintained. The 17th century Pavillon Dufour was transformed into the museum’s central, high-traffic visitor area.
A precise and innovative stamping technique combined with true craftsmanship enabled Hoba Steel to produce this traditional panel parquet made of ferritic steel. Individual pieces were stamped to precise dimensions with a specific edge rounding. The elements are joined together on joined together on carrier plates.
The color play of the black-blue steel makes the SPIN® ferrite Versailles parquet an authentic design highlight.
