The design of Polygone Riviera was entrusted to a team of renowned architects, under the direction of José Ignacio Galán Martinez, the architect of La Maquinista in Barcelona. The landscape artist Jean Mus drew his inspiration from the "French Riviera', a Mediterranean spirit and ambiance that has contributed to the success of this region for over a century. Sacha Sosno, a famous visual artist from the region will select and display original art from renowned artists in order to give visitors a unique experience with fashion and contemporary art.
Polygone Riviera is a mall offering visitors for the first time a place for a scenic stroll by the river, surrounded by works of art, or a place to lounge around the many different fashion, beauty and home decoration brands, as well as shops revolving around culture.
The mall will also include a movie theatre with ten screens and a casino. Polygone Riviera represents a collection of brands and a concentration of possibilities, never seen in the region before.
