SHOWROOM
A showroom and a meeting space where we can dive into your problematics and show you a range of existings solutions.
The samples we exhibit were all once a solution for a project. They tell stories that we would be happy to share with you!

«Christophe est un grand professionnel. Nous avons pu constater son expertise lors d’un cycle de workshops autour des matériaux et de l’innovation qu'il avait créé pour notre salon Materials & Light. C'est donc tout naturellement que nous lui avons confié la réalisation de l’émission TV "Parlons Matière" portée par le Lab et notre magazine d’a.»

«Certains ouvrages demandent une mise en œuvre qui sort de l’ordinaire. Qu’ils exigent un niveau de précision parfait ou qu’ils nécessitent la mise au point d’une méthodologie inédite, nous trouvons un écho auprès de Look. La réponse et l’accompagnement permettent toujours de relever ce défi.»
