Innovating Smart City Living in Paris, France
As the inventor of Affordance, our groundbreaking smart street furniture project, we’re redefining how public spaces engage with people in Paris. Installed across multiple parks and recreational areas throughout the city, these smart furnishings are designed to enhance urban life through connectivity and interactivity.
Each piece is geolocated, providing real-time cultural and historical information about the neighborhood where it’s situated—right at your fingertips. Beyond information, the furniture features digital screens that connect to social media platforms, allowing users to display personalized messages and trending hashtags, creating a dynamic dialogue between residents, visitors, and the city itself.
Affordance transforms ordinary public seating into interactive urban experiences, merging technology, culture, and community in the heart of Paris.
