Brasserie Champeaux

For the new Alain Ducasse’s Brasserie Champeaux in Paris, Ciguë designed a space with strong materials contrasts and a big black split flap board.

The interior design of Brasserie Champeaux is in tune with the new face of the Forum des Halles.

Located under the Canopée – designed by Patrick Berger and Jacques Anziutti – interiors are created by the Ciguë designers. The space is very bright, thanks to the large bay windows through which the light pours in.

Pure lines and raw materials give the venue both a warm and contemporary atmosphere. A monumental display panel of metal slats, identical to those used in airports, is the space’s strong element – a sort of slate 2.0 – which displays information relating to the menu and the dishes, during the service.

The name of the new restaurant is a reference to the location where, in the XIIth century, Louis VI established the large market which would become the precursor to the Halles. It is also a tribute to the restaurant Champeaux, founded in 1800, which was located beside the Bourse.
