The project is the rearrangement of the cafeteria using very few means. A collection of elements was installed: a cubic fountain with chrome-plated Gitterrost, a system of modular banquettes made of laminated waterproof vinyl, recycled foam padding, and Velcro fastening, galvanised steel for the service equipment, and a 40 m LED neon stripe. By reorganising these elements, the space becomes comfortable and versatile—a place to stay, read, meet, and eat—extending its use beyond standard cafeteria hours.
