Case History / Les Fountaines
Attention to the environment and interiors
designed by Porro distinguish the new face
of the “Les Fontaines” campus and congress
centre in Chantilly Cedex (France),
30 kilometres north of Paris, near to the
Charles de Gaulle airport. Set in a large
52-hectare park with lake and 19th-century
castle, the pre-existing hotel complex has in
fact been recently restructured focusing on
ecology: from organic breakfasts to low-energy
lighting, from the special waste treatment sy-
stem to reduced water consumption, to the
new geothermal heating plant, with rooms,
shared environments and sports facilities
completely renovated and Eco-Label certified.
To furnish the 300 bedrooms, grouped in 7
villas nestling in the greenery of the park, with
the aesthetics, warmth and comfort typical of
domestic space, has been involved the Italian
brand Porro: the delivery of the furnishings,
completed in May 2011, envisages the presen-
ce of Lakki bed, Modern writing desk, Stora-
ge walk-in wardrobe, Reflection mirror, Soft
Chair small armchair, Shadow Light lamps
and a base unit and cabinet for the bathroom
that are made-to-measure.
The result is a design bedroom with cosy
dimensions and soft tones, in the alternative
colours of grey or beige, where everyone
can make himself at home.
In the former, the pearl grey of the covers,
grey and white of the writing desk and white
of the base unit act as a counterpoint to the
dark shades of the black-painted ash Lakki
bed and “carbone” oak Storage walk-in
wardrobe, to which warmth is added by
the fuchsia and turquoise colours chosen for
the fabric-covered Soft Chair small armchair.
In the latter, Lakki bed and Storage wardrobe
in warm natural mongoi wood are combined
with hemlock base unit, beige writing desk
and orange or aubergine Soft Chair small
armchair.
White Shadow Light lamps scenographically
illuminate the environments; thanks to their
special “double skin” lampshade, once turned
on they project a charming and fun dotted
motif throughout the room, for those who
do not forget the emotions, combining them
with the aesthetic yield and technology
of Porro furnishings, and with the respect
for the environment that surrounds us.
Porro ambiance is even more refined in the
5 vip suites, which can count on the warmth
of the Offshore hemlock bedside table and
on the strong visual impact of Ferro table in
the bronze version, in addition to a private
terrace with a breathtaking view over the park.
