A modular bicycle shelter joins the Atrium in Thiers (France)
Design, modularity and French manufacturing
The EKO LOGY bike shelter, made in Thiers (France) by Guyon, now equips the Atrium, a home for young workers. From the place of production to the place of installation, the bicycle shelter has traveled only 3.5 kilometers! This choice of local manufacturing aims to be responsible and eco-responsible since it reduces the carbon footprint linked to the transport of furniture.
Indeed, choosing a bike shelter designed locally makes sense for a social actor like the Atrium, one of whose missions is to facilitate the employment of young people. Thus, their purchase is in line with their values since it promotes local employment, including young people, who work in Guyon workshops.
The EKO LOGY bicycle shelter, all in metal, is a modular product in terms of dimensions, options and finishes:
- part of the shelter is covered to provide an open break area, to protect against the rain or for smokers. This characteristic of the modular shelter promotes social bonding.
- the shelter also offers a secure storing for bicycles, its primary function.
- the cutting of the walls creates an openwork design effect without compromising the secure function of the furniture. The asymmetrical shapes break the "grid effect" by adding a touch of fantasy.
- a laser cut of the Atrium logo with a contrasting background personalize the shelter while promoting the identity of the place.
Secure bicycle box, smoking shelter, designer furniture... The EKO LOGY modular shelter fits perfectly to the needs of the Atrium!
