A European law firm asked us to intervene on the existing plan, in order to make it more functional, and a new interior design for representation areas and main offices. The choice was to design a central axis which gives access to offices and a division between representation and service space. The axis (hallway) appears as an evocative space, in which the modern and antique legislative tomes (office’s propriety) become the walls, the structure and the access to the firm’s offices. As office activity’s reference, the interior design creates a glocal style, to merge into an international atmosphere the office’s Flemish origin and the city to which it belongs. We used coloring and materials inspired by Flemish art and personalized contemporary Belgian design furnishings integrated by international design pieces. The decoration set up has opted for an highly tactile approach, where ,the materials and their characteristics are the ones to create and structure textures and finishes.
