L’Oréal “Le Visionnaire” - Paris

At 14 rue Royale in Paris, Ponctuelle designed the lighting for L’Oréal’s historic headquarters, “Le Visionnaire – Espace François Dalle”. Listed as a historic monument, the 18th-century building now houses 4,200 m² dedicated to creation, knowledge sharing and innovation, arranged around a spectacular ovoid glass roof.

The lighting combines the enhancement of the heritage, a dialogue with the contemporary architecture and comfortable workspaces.
