cabinet


Explanation:
S. CNRTL:
http://www.cnrtl.fr/definition/cabinet
und hier besonders der Abschnitt:
"B.− [Désigne un lieu de travail]
1. Littéraire
a) Vieilli. Pièce réservée au travail intellectuel. Cabinet du directeur, cabinet d'étude, cabinet de travail. Synon. mod. et cour. bureau :
5. ... Blaise (...) s'engagea dans les couloirs pour gagner son bureau particulier qui jouxtait le cabinet de M. Joseph Pasquier. G. Duhamel, Chronique des Pasquier,La Passion de Joseph Pasquier, 1945, p. 94.
6. ... quant à son avenir personnel, il s'en foutait. (...) et c'est à peine s'il avait le cœur un peu barbouillé le jour où il entra dans le **cabinet du juge d'instruction**. Ce bureau, semblable à des milliers d'autres bureaux, paraissait moins réel qu'un décor de théâtre; ... S. de Beauvoir, Les Mandarins,1954, p. 477..."
Cabinet hat den Vorteil, gleichzeitig altertümlich zu klingen und weiterhin richtig verstanden zu werden. Insbesondere hat es den offiziellen "Anstrich", der hier gefragt ist.
