Design of living spaces
Interior design is a sector of activity that brings together designers, product or space designers, manufacturers of components or furniture products, fitters and distributors.
FCBA supports you in creating or selling products and spaces by integrating the societal demand for well-being and health.
FCBA helps you to develop eco-designed, sustainable products, taking into account the ergonomics for the user, as well as for the employee at his workstation.
For each problem, we bring together the necessary perspectives of the environmental engineer, the ergonomist and the laboratory, which will ultimately provide the technical validation of the product or service. The circular economy is an input for us, and these 360° views allow us not to omit any of the parameters.
IN TERMS OF INNOVATION, DESIGN, PROCESS, FCBA OFFERS YOU THE POSSIBILITY :
To be at your side from the creation of products and services to their marketing
IN TERMS OF PRODUCT AND SERVICE DESIGN,
We will work with you to imagine solutions that meet current and future uses, taking into account societal changes. To do this, we will use a scientific methodology of co-creation through use and our database on uses. We will help you to create eco-designed, sustainable products and services that have less impact on the environment using "Innovathèque", our materials database, and our environmental impact calculation tool (Eco-furniture).
AT PROCESS LEVEL
We will help you to make it more virtuous, to switch to finishing products that have less impact on the environment, but we will also help you to reduce RSI at the workstation level. These are just a few examples...
