Did somebody get the address wrong? Those visiting the INEA office (a real estate company listed on the Paris Stock Exchange) will not see any suits, ties, oriental rugs or antique furniture, but instead find an impressive light installation that illuminates a silkscreen of city skyscrapers. Amazing! Here and there are USM Haller pieces, in ruby red and light gray. In this office, the people deal with real estate, but it could just as well be a design firm. At INEA, the usual rules are casually avoided. The company’s new spaces are in the pleasant business district of Palais-Royal, outside the posh Champs-Elysées neighborhood. Unconventionally relaxed: The office spaces also reflect this attitude. INEA management and the architect David Thibaut did not hesitate in selecting the USM Haller system. Because the connection between down-to-earth design, functionality and solidity of the modular system should be unique. These characteristics are essential for a company with a bright future. The result is gorgeous. People and furniture have plenty of room to move in this open space. The light plays against the large background, showing the way from one office to another and out into the wide world. Nonconformity in about 200 square meters (656 square feet).
