Pernod Ricard (Paris:RI):
Pernod Ricard’s new global headquarters, The Island, located in
Paris’s 8th arrondissement, has won the Best of Year Award in the
“Medium Corporate Office” category. One of the most sought-after
accolades in the industry, it was presented as part of the 15th
“Best of Year Awards” ceremony organised by the leading
international magazine Interior Design. The 2020 winners were
announced during a virtual ceremony broadcast on Interior Design’s
website and social media by its editor-in-chief Cindy Allen, who
took the opportunity to mention Paul Ricard and the history of the
name The Island. The project was up against two other finalists:
Rockefeller Group’s headquarters in New York and EY Wavespace
Group’s innovation centre in Antwerp.
Since July, The Island, reminiscent of the islands in the south
of France where the Group originated, has embodied the Group’s
transformation in recent years under the leadership of its Chairman
and CEO Alexandre Ricard. The interior design of the 18,000 square
metres of this ultra-connected, environmentally responsible
building situated in the heart of Paris is the work of Saguez &
Partners. Following two years of development, they designed a
project for Pernod Ricard that reflects its employee-focused
vision, and with a single mantra: to design a space that promotes
maximum interaction between all 900 employees. Of the firm belief
that 80% of innovative ideas are born from these person-to-person,
informal exchanges – as demonstrated by MIT researcher Thomas Allen
– Saguez & Partners have created a workspace that promotes
interaction, collaboration, the sharing of experiences, and
synergies. For the agency’s founder, Olivier Saguez, “This award
recognises a particularly iconic project. Rarely has a company
sought to break down silos and encourage interaction to such an
extent. We are very proud to have designed a project that is so
ambitious from a human perspective.”
According to Olivier Cavil, Head of Communications at Pernod
Ricard, and responsible for the project The Island, “The new
headquarters is undoubtedly the finest symbol of our Group’s
transformation. It is not just a functional place, but also a warm
and aesthetically pleasing space, bringing to life our culture of
convivialité on a daily basis; a place that re-establishes the
importance of informal face-to-face interaction at a time when
virtual meetings and remote working are becoming increasingly
common. Where better than an island to dream, as Paul Ricard would
say.”
Interior Design Magazine’s “Best of Year Award” is the second
international accolade received by The Island, which in September
won the best office building project at the MIPIM Awards 2020.
