French term or phrase: mobilier permanent
Hello,

I'm having difficulty translating "mobilier permanent", this is furniture by a luxury (perfume) brand, I can't find any mention of furniture on this brand's website.

"Agence X conçoit pour le parfumeur une nouvelle charte de mobilier et éléments décoratifs pour corners et agencement en magasins."

Does the literal translation "permanent furniture" ring any bells?

Thank you for any insight.

English translation:shopfittings, fixtures and fittings
Explanation:
If you search with the term "shopfitters" you will find a plethora of sites offers sales and services for fitting out shops and other commercial outlets where 'furniture' and fittings of all sorts are included in the umbrella term. The "mobilier permament" wilis the stuff that stays in place: the composite term covers items that are 'fixed' in palce and that do not budge, and 'fittings' are often lements that are fairly permanent too, that may be attached or added to the 'fixed' elements. modularity is common, but the term has stayed: fixtures and fittings for me!

Asker: Merci Karine, oui je pense que vous avez raison, l'idée de meubles permanents est un concept plutot démodée, je ne trouve rien de récent parlant de meubles permanents..Thank you!
