drink, and a place to sit-needed an intuitive lounge
experience. Softroom pulled off a design trick:
"The design accommodates a large number of people
without feeling crowded; never a sense of too many
people or furnishings," says Bagot.
"Although seating capacity was important,
we didn't want to turn it into a waiting room with
rows and rows of seats," Casey says. "The design
understands that no business customer is the
same, nor do they have the same needs every
time they travel."
Softroom created 15 different seating areas,
allowing customer choice for different moods and
times of day, with quieter, private nooks tucked away
on the sides compared to the more public central
areas. Near the center, a round bar with a black
Pyrolave top is both a visual focal point and social
hub. The bar itself is sunken about 18 inches
under the floor so that bartenders are standing
but guests are seated at chairs-Beetle chairs
by Gubi-rather than barstools. This way, the bar
does not overwhelm the interior.

Underfoot, a new oak chevron floor is a nod
to Parisian apartments. French limestone walls
with hints of blue and brass details subtly refer
to Eurostar's blue and yellow brand colors. A long
blue velvet sofa was custom-designed by Softroom
as a variation on the train station waiting bench.
Built-in bench seating-clad in leather or in
velvet-allow for many places to sit without being
obtrusive. Custom tables were designed with both
power and USB outlets, as well as wireless charging.
Softroom selected a mix of beautiful chairs, including
Tre Pezzi by Cassina and a few classics designed
by Jean Prouvé, such as Cité (seen on front cover),
Salon, and Fauteuil Direction. "[Prouvé's] approach
to engineering and design is appropriate for the
station," says Bagot.
The lighting scheme, designed by Londonbased Cinimod Studio, features both functional
and elegant fixtures-multiple layers of task,
ambient, and decorative light-that further the
