Working with JCDecaux has been an exciting experience. It has allowed me to discover a company with a unique approach to matters concerning the environment. JCDecaux attaches great importance to the quality of design, which it fully adapts to the character of each city, and also to its scrupulous street furniture maintenance program. Public design is all too often an inharmonious piecing together of cheap solutions. One hopes that first-class companies such as JCDecaux will elevate our work to enjoy a wider public recognition and regard. In Denmark, where the urban landscape is of great importance, I wanted a line of furniture which was discreet and suited to the lifestyle but at the same time original and imposing. In doing so, I believe I have managed to capture the essence of the distinctive Nordic style.
