Inaugurated in 1878 a stone’s throw from the Opéra Garnier, this building originally served as the headquarters of the prestigious bank Crédit Lyonnais. Following a devastating fire in 1996, it underwent restoration and reopened in 2003 as “Le Centorial”, a premium office space and business hub. Listed as a historic monument for its remarkable architecture, the building features a majestic glass dome and an immense metal skylight in its lobby.

To honour that heritage, Le Centorial’s logotype and monogram were redrawn in a spirit of preservation, referencing its original Crédit Lyonnais sign in a contemporary revival. The refreshed design brings in improved spacing and fine-tuned details while staying true to the essence and typographic proportions of the original. An understated colour palette inspired by the building’s materiality reinforces the connection between past and present.
