A light wood nest dotted with pink, set in the heart of the mall: the iconic play space of Shopping Rive Gauche, in Charleroi



Within the Rive Gauche shopping centre in Charleroi (Belgium), the goal was to create a 40 m² children's area: an iconic space in harmony with the mall and the centre's visual identity (black, white, pink).
The installation is durable, long-lasting and complies with ERP and EN 1176 standards.

With the NEST, we imagined a true nest at the heart of the shopping centre. An immersive space with organic lines, dominated by light wood and natural tones, dotted with pink to echo the identity of the place.
The central structure and its slide become the anchor point of the course. Around it, an active graphic floor invites movement, an integrated motor skills course and play panels bring the space to life, while see-through emoji Plexiglas partitions add transparency, lightness and interaction. The whole blends naturally into the mall's architecture while creating a distinct and appealing world.

The project develops active and fine motor skills, stimulates curiosity and imagination, encourages collaborative play and fights sedentary habits. It gives families a reassuring, structured space.
