Conseil départemental des Hauts-de-Seine

The Conseil Départemental des Hauts-de-Seine, located in Nanterre, is the institution responsible for managing and developing the Hauts-de-Seine department in the Île-de-France region of France. This public body oversees a wide range of activities aimed at improving the quality of life for its citizens, including urban planning, social services, education, culture, and environmental initiatives.
At its Nanterre headquarters, Aresline designed and implemented a fully turnkey project in collaboration with the Contract Design Network for the council chamber.
The project involved creating a new, modular room for public deliberative assemblies within a short timeframe. The chamber accommodates configurations for 46 or 88 councilors, a presidential podium, and designated areas for the public and press.
The installation includes the construction of tiered seating in the hemicycle and mezzanine, furnishings for the hemicycle and stage, acoustic panels, and equipment for audio conferencing.
The room features semicircular tiered seating, furnished with elegant custom tables integrated into the tiers, crafted with wood and solid surface finishes. These tables not only feature a refined design but also include built-in wiring and audio-conferencing systems.
For seating, Trendy First Class chairs were selected, customized with increased spacing and upholstered in white leather for optimal comfort and elegance. Complementing the setup are Papillon chairs and V9.Syncron chairs, selected to meet specific functional needs.
The project also addresses acoustics with the installation of Airgraf acoustic panels, suspended to provide exceptional sound quality and comfort.
All designs comply with current public space regulations, ensuring functionality, safety, and comfort.
