jean nouvel design has conceived the RBC showroom’s three levels as open and flexible spaces, allowing multiple layouts and configurations. floors are unified by a gray resin, while white walls serve as a neutral backdrop to the furniture on display. the uppermost level, which hosts exhibitions and other events, is flooded with natural light thanks to a structured glass canopy above. meanwhile, a glass floor helps illuminate the two lower levels.
