Accuracy Paris
ACCURACY
The corporate real estate management firm Shift In and the Paris-based architecture studio Atelier Flow have once again renewed their confidence in Cider, this time to furnish the new headquarters for Accuracy. After a decade in the Paris suburb of Neuilly-sur-Seine, the financial consulting firm Accuracy has relocated to the centre of the capital, on the very prestigious Avenue Matignon, inside a 3,000-sqm office space. Accuracy wanted an environment that would feel both sophisticated and welcoming to reflect firm’s emphasis on excellence and efficiency. The new headquarters will be a place for the company to entertain international clients in style, but also houses casual workspaces to cater to the well-being of the firm’s 200 collaborators. HOW CIDER APPROACHED THIS CHALLENGE To meet these demands, Cider worked hand in hand with the architecture studio Atelier Flow to develop a complete range of bespoke furniture perfectly suited to the warm and refined atmosphere the architects had imagined. Different takes on different spaces Work lounge – casual & energising The project was developed around a chic and quirky client space and a 300-sqm work lounge — a casual and energising, carefully-curated environment where collaborators can feel inspired. To echo the authentic materials — concrete, metal, white marble, printed glass and wood for the vaulted ceilings — chosen to accent the offices, Cider was able to develop high-end furniture with clean, uncluttered lines. Entrance hall – warm & refined In the entrance hall, sophisticated finishes in metallic and felt grey are brought to life with bright yellow and warm wood accents. Informal areas feature a sprinkle of black Monceau high tables. The meeting rooms are furnished with walnut-crafted versions of the very chic T’S table surrounded by sets of the stylish nubuck-upholstered Linus chair designed by La Manufacture. Work environments – productive – stimulating & casual The concept for the workspaces was to create an environment that felt conducive to work, both stimulating and casual, breaking radically with the traditional paradigm of individually partitioned work stations to create a more open atmosphere. To achieve that, Cider collaborated with Atelier Flow to transform its standard Slim range work set and custom-designed a “bespoke” desk and matching storage units. The elegant Slim desk has been redesigned in a grey Fenix finish and is completed by a system of adjoining shelves, with configurations varying from one department to the next. Work sets and bench desks are combined with I-task ergonomic chairs with grey mesh backs. A system of sliding partitions mounted on rails was also installed to provide optimal flexibility. Once more, the Cider team’s service-oriented expertise paved the way for a concept of high-end furniture incorporating the project’s colour palette, a comprehensive bespoke solution tailored to its clients’ needs and a smooth collaboration with the architects and real estate managers in charge of the project.
