There is a focus on layering throughout the design. A collection of differing textures, scales, and shapes, that all seemingly contrast one another, occupy the same space. Thick tubular forms meet circular perforations and different scaled tiles, creating a sophisticated and complex internal scheme.
“La Raffinerie oscillates between exercise in style and strict functionalism for a result that calls for conviviality”, Un Studio explains.
”An acidic and racy look, from floor to ceiling, right down to the front door handle which also takes up the shape of the building, like an abyss.”
Un Studio’s design for La Raffinerie is a fusion of bold modernist interventions and post-war French design. The result is an energetic and irresistibly layered space that’s impossible to walk by without wanting to take a peek inside.
