Constellation, universes of knowledge

The Goal

Established in recent years as a leader in higher education in France and the largest Education Group in Europe, Galileo Global Education (GGE) wanted to transform an office building in the French city of Rouen into a university campus. A space with differentiated atmospheres, where students would have the sensation of inhabiting different 'worlds' on the same campus.

In a wide colour palette, which fits perfectly with the strong personality of the new campus, Actiu's furniture allows the creation of a wide variety of places for working, socialising and relaxing.

Solution

For the transformation of the building, GGE called on the architectural firm of Carton Architecture, responsible for the new layout and the more technical aspects; the interior designers of Maud de France, for the choice of materials and furniture; and the team of graphic designers, Studio-Studio, who were responsible for all the colourimetry and signage work.

The result is a 'constellation' of spaces with a strong personality and where colour plays an important role, to which Actiu has contributed with some of its programmes and a chromatic range that, as GGE points out, "fits perfectly with the aesthetics sought".

Soft seating systems such as Bend, which offers comfortable corners for resting or socialising, coexist with solutions such as the Longo Pod, which is acoustically insulated and can function as a private space or a collaborative point. Other collective and operative programmes, such as the Noom 50 chair or the Tabula and Twist tables at different heights, enhance dynamism by allowing a wide range of uses and postures.
