SNCF

SNCF, the French public rail company, wanted to renovate the Hall 3 (concourse 3) waiting area at Gare de Lyon. This work was entrusted to Korus, which was tasked with manufacturing and fitting robust furniture with an atypical but sleek design, including this bench which is over 20 metres long! This space is now a hit with all travellers, young and old, due to its conviviality and its aesthetic appeal.
