LOOK OUT Bright curved walls The “Rendez-vous Toyota” showroom used close to 400 square meters of DuPont™ Corian® in its Champs Elysées location to express its brands through ARCHITECTURE AND LIGHT. Approximately 1000 LEDs were embedded in the walls to provide an immaterial feeling within the space and to give visitors the  

impression  

of  

a  

fluid  

environment.

 Delicate walls Chantal Thomass used DuPont™ Corian®  

in  

its  

flagship  

  

 store to create a visual and tactile perception that is both BRIGHT AND WELCOMING. The cameo white hue works together with the lighting to create an inviting ambiance while the elaborate quilting effect on the material turns the panelling into a work of art. Design by Christian Ghion. 29
