Anchoring daily life in the heart of movement

We are continuing our collaboration with SFL around 90 Champs-Élysées, an office project located in the heart of the iconic Parisian avenue, where interior architecture and contemporary uses dialogue with the historic identity of the site.

The building at 90 avenue des Champs-Élysées features a dressed stone facade with reflective metallic frames, a mineral and modern vocabulary that dialogues with the surrounding Haussmannian fabric. In this context dominated by luxury boutiques, the presence of offices constitutes a singularity that the Jouin Manku project transforms into a strong identity asset.

Commissioned by SFL starting in October 2023, Patrick Jouin and Sanjit Manku were tasked with designing the common areas: lobby, reception, first-floor meeting room, cafeteria, and elevator landings. The executive architecture, as well as the layout of the landings and offices, are handled by the Archibuild group, with landscaping by Merci Raymond.

A fully assumed Parisian identity

From the avenue, the eye is invited to traverse the space. A light fixture rises, spanning the levels from the ground floor up to the meeting room, a vertical presence, like a totem. Inspired by the fluting of Parisian lampposts, it becomes a signal and a landmark, rhythmically structuring the space all the way to the back of the lobby, where it welcomes and guides. The project relies on a noble and timeless materiality: Paris stone, dark and enveloping wood, and metal echoing the facade. Together, they compose a grounded and refined atmosphere, one of discreet, deeply Parisian luxury.

The light fixture, a central figure

The signature element is a collection of blown-glass light fixtures, composed of vertically stacked modules connected by metal rods. Each piece, manufactured in France, features slight variations and embedded bubbles, making every element unique. These fixtures visually traverse the lobby and the first-floor meeting room, ensuring continuity from the street to the heart of the building. Their design draws inspiration from Parisian columns, reinterpreted in a contemporary language.

Transparency and circulations

One of the project's major challenges was to open up an existing, fragmented layout. The new arrangement introduces through-perspectives right from the entrance, reveals the previously hidden staircase, and naturally guides users through the spaces. This restored fluidity contributes to repositioning the building within the premium segment, turning every passage into an architectural moment.
