George Pompidou Center

BPI (Bibliothèque Publique d’Information, Public Information Library).

At the end of the nineties, the restructuring and refurbishing of the Centre Pompidou in Paris,designed by Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers in 1977, saw the participation of architect Jean-François Bodin who designed the new Bibliothèque Publique d’Information, one of the world's largest libraries specialising in visual arts.

Tecno was selected to provide the reading tables, custom-designed by Bodin himself, along with the padded seating for the waiting areas and the reception points in the communal areas, working alongside the architect to resolve the technical issues and create a light, refined image, with respect for the architecture of Piano and Rogers.
