CHAMBERS is a Franco-English company. Our clients are both French and Anglo-Saxon, including leading American international groups setting up in Paris. We tend to think that the corporate world is a universal reality, with identical codes, practices and atmospheres. But this is only true on the surface. The social and urban context in which employees evolve differs from one place to another, from one continent to another. The vision of the working environment that boards develop also varies according to their cultural roots, not to mention sector-specific differences. The French, the Americans and the English don't have the same idea of what a law firm should be, its spaces, its functions, its scalability... CHAMBERS thinks of interior architecture and design at the crossroads of national and cultural prisms. This is where we draw our inspiration and our standards.

Our projects.
Our adventures.
As CHAMBERS duplicates nothing from one project to the next, other than our desire, high standards and mastery, each one is experienced as an adventure. And despite all the difficulties inherent in such undertakings, it's a happy one when it's shared by our client. This is often the case.
