The Line x RATP la ligne

We have depicted the route of line 12 of the Paris subway and its 29 stations.

With this new format, it is possible to stick, magnetize and even place the line anywhere thanks to its cardboard support on which the names of the stations appear.

Indications

Stickers

You can fix The Line wherever you like.

Whether your wall is brick, plaster, or concrete, or you have a glass partition, you can stick (or unstick) the line to it using four stickers which are 3mm diameter.

Simply position them on the back of the line and press for 30 seconds in the spot where you want to display your souvenir.

Magnets

You can attach your souvenir to any metallic surface using our super-strong mini magnets.

Simply place them on the back of the line and position it on the desired surface.

Whether it's a refrigerator, a metal shelf, or any other metallic surface, you can display your line with ease. And in style.

Stand

You can stand The Line up wherever you like and collect your favourite lines.

The embossing on the front and the magnets on the back hold the line perfectly. We have created a tie which keeps the support in place, like a frame.

About Line 12

This is not the 12th line of the network, as it was put into service in 1910, well before lines 8 to 11! It was originally line A, gradually linking Porte de la Chapelle to Porte de Versailles. Entirely built and operated by the Nord-Sud company, a competitor of the Compagnie du Métropolitain de Paris (CMP), the line was distinguished by the care taken with the architecture and design of its stations. Nord-Sud went bankrupt in 1930 and Line A was absorbed by the CMP and became Line 12. It reached Issy-les-Moulineaux in 1934 and Aubervilliers in 2012 until Front Populaire station, then Mairie d'Aubervilliers in 2022.

Manufacturing

Drawing
Through a single stroke, The Line represents panoramas of cities, legendary mountain tops, or even mythical music tracks visually represented by their soundwaves.
Cutting
Lines are laser cut from metal sheets, with an extreme accuracy. This step is carried out in France by several partners, including a cooperative company.
Gilding
Lines are gilded with 24-carat gold via an electrolysis process ensuring agglomeration of gold on the line.
Boxes and silkscreen
Despite significant production volumes, The Line keeps an artisanal manufacturing approach for its packaging, and uses a silkscreen process to guarantee an original and qualitative result.
Packing
Final packing of products is then carried out within ESATs (work-based learning centers dedicated to people with disabilities).
