Project description
Client initial brief
The Babel Community wanted to create a new hybrid space in Lille, at the crossroads of different uses: living, working, and meeting.
The goal: to offer a warm, flexible, and inspiring environment where design enhances conviviality without ever limiting it.
Challenges or constraints encountered
This project came with several major challenges:
First, the execution timeframe was particularly short — only three weeks to deliver fully finished spaces.
Autre enjeu majeur : respecter l’identité visuelle forte de The Babel Community, tout en adaptant les aménagements à la configuration spécifique du bâtiment. L’objectif : retrouver la même atmosphère conviviale et design que dans les autres implantations.
Enfin, la fabrication sur-mesure du mobilier (banquettes, bars, estrades, arrière-bars) dans un temps restreint a demandé une grande réactivité des ateliers et une coordination étroite avec le bureau d’études.
Solution proposed and implemented
Groupe Pagès drew on its full expertise in custom interior fittings and bespoke furniture design:
• Design, in-house manufacturing, and on-site installation of the project’s key elements: banquettes, bars, back bars, platforms, and reception furniture.
• Close coordination between the design office, carpenters, and on-site teams to control timelines and ensure a high level of finishing quality.
• On-site adjustments to tailor each element to the space, in close collaboration with the client.
The result: functional, aesthetic, and durable furniture that enhances the warm and vibrant atmosphere of the space.
