Christian Louboutin

Founded in 1991, the luxury shoe brand Christian Louboutin is known for the trademark red soles. With offices spread across five different locations in the French capital, the company was looking to unite the teams in a single workplace housed within a historic building close to the very first Louboutin boutique in the heart of Paris.

To strengthen teamwork in project mode and promote new working methods, the client was keen to introduce a desk-sharing concept. Furthermore, the new work environment was intended to serve as a compelling reflection of the brand and its values in order to attract the best talent.

Having always admired the quality and innovative spirit of Vitra products, the Louboutin team commissioned the Vitra Consulting & Planning Studio (CPS) to plan and deliver a collaborative office environment.

The central entrance area serves multiple key functions: a reception and welcome zone, a place to eat and relax, and a venue for spontaneous meetings and inter-team dialogue. The management staff still has individual offices, but they can all be used as meeting rooms or retreats when the respective occupant is absent. The work areas and meeting rooms are furnished with a variety of Vitra products.
