The Emile Dubois / Maladrerie social housing district in Aubervilliers will soon be undergoing major urban transformations: NPNRU, Grand Paris Express station, ZAC Fort d’Aubervilliers, downgrading of Avenue Jean-Jaurès to an urban boulevard.
Since 2015, the urban planning studio Approche.s has been working in this neighbourhood to address the issues of inclusivity and women’s well-being in public space. In 2020, an initial signposting route, designed with Clémence Passot, will encourage people to walk between the district and the Fort d’Aubervilliers.
In 2021, Studio Idaë takes part in the project to complete the pathway with seating and lighting.
The furniture designed for the site is grafted onto the existing structure and features silhouettes designed by Clémence Passot. It is made of lacquered folded sheet metal and wooden slats.
The lighting poles have been modified by the installation of RVV (Red Green Violet) spotlights. The goals was to make the pathway more dynamic and enhance the feeling of comfort and safety.
Participatory workshops with children from the Émile Dubois neighbourhood, led by Atelier Approche.s, to paint the lighting poles.

A multidisciplinary creative agency founded by Isabelle Daëron in 2018, Studio Idaë arose from a reflection on the use of natural flows — water, air, light — in public space.
The Studio has, ever since, developed an approach based on research and education, focusing on the urban, environmental and societal challenges of the ecological transition.
Driven by a poetical & committed team of designers, Studio Idaë applies its refined, assertive graphic signature to projects of various scales. From urban devices to mediation objects and supports, or scenography, the agency’s protean contributions always strive at others — their needs, their desires, and their evolution.
The agency operates within a network of local companies and collaborates with dedicated craftspeople to adapt to the specific characteristics of each territory. Together, they work towards the most appropriate and relevant response — between narration and mediation.
Pauline Avrillon, product designer graduated from École Boulle joined the studio in 2017, and works on urban design projects. Angèle Fourteau, product designer graduated from ECAL works on set design projects since 2022. Eléna Hervé Caro joined the team in 2023 as office manager.
