in paris’ 13th arrondissement, architect stéphane malka has employed a flexible partition system to delineate a new office in the french capital. agoratic, a company who specializes in computer education, commissioned malka and his team to design a workplace that incorporated a series of multipurpose zones capable of hosting digital training spaces, administration offices, or meeting rooms.
the flexible partition system delineates the office
as part of the project’s development, the architects created and patented a floating wall system, which sees partitions suspended 3 millimeters above the floor and below the ceiling. these elements also include full height doors, and are patented under the name ‘MuMo’ (‘mur mobiles’ / ‘mobile walls’ in french). this system enables the user to arrange multiple room configurations. the result is an interior that appears as a three-dimensional chessboard, with alternating light and dark boxes.
the workplace incorporates a series of multipurpose zones
the autonomous structural system provides a mobile and flexible place to work, while toying with its occupants’ sense of space. visual distortions are established through the use of mirrors, false symmetries and real life fish-eye effects. the office stretches and contracts, multiplies and divides, and creates polymorphic spaces — from remote workpods to generously proportioned meeting rooms.
