Description:
Built as the flagship showroom on the Champs-Élysées for the automobile manufacturer Citroën. The cars are presented as a kind of corporate totem composed of eight vehicles stacked on platters, one on top of the other. The arrangement forms a gigantic upright display around which visitors move in an ascending/descending spiral movement via flights of stairs and landings. The cars are displayed on revolving circular platforms under a faceted mirror-ceiling that fragments and multiplies their lines and details. The building skin is faceted glass and plays on the distinctive shape of the Citroën logo: the double chevron, in red and white.
