About

CEA-Leti has equipped one of its buildings with a textile facade made using a Serge Ferrari Group membrane to enhance a new space entirely dedicated to Research.

A facade project within a demanding environment

CEA-Leti recently integrated a textile facade on a stairwell as a symbolic feature of a new building dedicated to R&D. Designed by Unanime Architectes (Lyon), the installation had to meet both rigorous architectural and technical requirements while reinforcing the building’s visual identity. Beyond its aesthetic function, the textile facade is perfectly suited to the constraints of a dynamic and demanding Research & Development environment.

Entrusted to Aluzion, based in La Ricamerie (Loire, France), the project was carried out entirely in-house, from the engineering phase through to final installation, including design, fabrication, and printing of the membrane.

The selected solution, Serge Ferrari Group’s Tenseo Frontside View 381 membrane, relies on an aluminium tensioning system ensuring long-term performance and optimal visual clarity. Covering a total surface area of nearly 74.4 m², the fabric delivers precise and durable graphic rendering while adapting to the technical constraints of the structure. In addition, Aluzion also produced the inauguration curtain for the building.
