BOOST AND IMPROVE WELL-BEING
We participated in the redevelopment of Place de Paris in Elancourt by proposing a Corten steel urban planning This dynamic space for relaxation. The main objective was to create pleasant, shaded seating areas, while also de-mineralizing the environment to bring coolness and conviviality to the residents.
Modular and friendly seating areas
One of the strengths of this Corten steel urban furniture consists of the installation of 267 linear meters of islands made with curbs equipped with seating, to which are added 66 linear meters of borders.
The seats were designed in Acacia wood, a wood known for its strength and durability outdoors.
This wood/metal combination harmonizes perfectly with the environment while offering a contemporary touch.
The planters and edging, integrated into open-bottomed containers, adapt to seating and resting needs while allowing vegetation to grow, providing users with a shaded area.
Corten steel, a durable ally for your custom urban planters
Chosen for its characteristic rust patina, Corten steel brings a unique charm and a durability exceptional.
Thanks to its protective layer, it requires low maintenance while maintaining its warm feel.
Furthermore, this finish integrates perfectly with the site's plant palette, creating a harmonious dialogue between the raw materials and the surrounding nature.

Corten steel: long-lasting robustness and aesthetics
Choosing Corten steel for a Urban planning offers several advantages:
- High corrosion resistance The specific patina of Corten steel, achieved through sandblasting and activation, stabilizes naturally and does not degrade over time.
- A warm visual aspect The rust coloration gives the public space a strong identity, in contrast to the light wood of the raw robinia.
- A reduced interview: Thanks to its stabilized finish, Corten does not require any further treatment to maintain its strength and aesthetic appeal.
Towards a public space that is both functional and pleasant
Place de Paris in Elancourt today bears witness to the impact that a Corten steel urban planning can have on the quality of life in the city. By offering comfortable seating and an environment refreshed by vegetation, this space invites strolling, meetings, and exchanges between residents.
In the medium and long term, the installation of vegetation and the use of sustainable materials contribute to:
Reduce the urban heat island effect thanks to demineralization and the addition of vegetation.
Improve well-being in the city by offering more shaded and friendly spaces.
Enhance the neighborhood's appeal by offering a polished and coherent design for users.
This type of development thus illustrates a sustainable and integrated approach to the city, in which the quality of use, the comfort of residents, and environmental preservation are considered inseparably in order to create public spaces that are simultaneously pleasant, functional, and resilient over time.
Our expertise: from design to delivery
In this project, our mission was not limited to the simple supply of urban furniture. We also:
Designed the products (seats, bins, curbs, etc.) taking into account the specifications and the desired aesthetics.
Manufactured the internal components, thanks to our expertise in welding, laser cutting, and bending techniques on various metals.
Delivered Watelet TP is responsible for urban furniture and the on-site implementation, thereby ensuring installation compliance with project requirements.
This holistic approach allows us to guarantee the aesthetic and technical consistency of the whole, and to offer a «turnkey» solution to local authorities, project owners, or private partners.
We deployed our expertise in bending, welding, and laser cutting to create, among other things, two DUALIS sorting bins bearing the community's logo. This customization reinforces the square's visual identity and raises users' awareness of selective sorting.
