Aux Trois Obus
The Challenge
Aux Trois Obus, a beloved Parisian brasserie near major sports landmarks like Roland Garros and Parc des Princes, wanted torefresh their space with furniture that celebrated heritage, comfort, and bold personality. The team sought something truly unique—pieces that would stand out visually while also reflecting the establishment’s rich character and high-energy environment.
The Solution
PDXOriginals delivered a solution rooted in history and craftsmanship by transforming original PDX Airport benches into one-of-a-kind barstools. Each bench was painstakingly cleaned, hand-polished, and reupholstered in premium leather. The new barstools retained the integrity and shape of the mid-century originals while being reimagined for a lively bar setting.To reflect the vibrant spirit of Aux Trois Obus, the stools were finished in a signature powder blue and adorned with custom-sewn patches—each one capturing a piece of the restaurant’s identity. The result: barstools that fuse American airport nostalgia withParisian charm, delivering both style and comfort in a high-traffic hospitality space.
The Result
ResultThe finished barstools are a conversation piece and functional upgrade. They bring color, craftsmanship, and cultural crossover to the Aux Trois Obus experience. These bespoke pieces not only support the lively rhythm of the brasserie but also reflect a commitment to thoughtful reuse and storytelling through design. The collaboration stands as a perfect example of howPDXOriginals merges legacy materials with new purpose—across borders and industries.
