L213
The refined design and sophisticated details of the
L213 armchair blend seamlessly with the elegant and
understated modern style of the Tour Incity skyscraper
in Lyon’s business district. Now home to the Caisse
d’Épargne Rhône Alpes bank and the SNCF (French
National Railway Company), it is the first tower in
France with HQE - Haute Qualité Environnementale
(High Environmental Quality) certification, thanks to
its natural ventilation system and the fact that 95% of
its rooms are lit with natural light. Spanning more than
44 thousand square meters and 200 m in height, this
building is the third tallest in France and houses offices,
restaurants and shared spaces. The conference room is
punctuated by the colours (grey and red) of the L213s,
all of which are equipped with gravity-driven tip-up
seats and backrests with a multi-layered inner part and
non-deformable and flame-retardant padding. The
chairs, complete with inclined side panels and wooden
seatback, are arranged in curved tiered rows.
