ILE SEGUIN
2011 — Paris, FR
Furniture — Restaurant Fit-out
For Les Grandes Tables restaurant on Île Seguin in Paris, we produced a series of bespoke furniture elements including the bar, tables, and chairs. The restaurant was located within a semi-temporary pavilion designed by 1024 Architecture, on the historic island in the Seine that once housed the Renault factory.
Working from designs by Ciguë, the furniture was conceived to complement the pavilion’s contemporary architectural language while remaining robust enough for intensive public use. The pieces combine industrial materials with warm natural finishes, creating a balance between durability and comfort suited to a lively restaurant environment.
