a display device having a display screen borne by the upper part of the console, wherein the display screen is movable between at least a raised position in which a display surface is visible and a folded down position in which the display surface is hidden, the display screen being folded down on the upper part,
wherein the console has a hand rest arranged on the upper part such that a user can place the forearm, the wrist, or the palm of the hand on the hand rest while touching the display screen, and
wherein the hand rest assumes a form of a protuberance on the upper surface of the upper part, the display screen being arranged at a front end of the upper part and the hand rest being located at a rear end of the upper part.

2. The interior layout according to claim 1 , wherein the display screen is mounted pivoting on the upper part around a substantially horizontal and/or substantially transverse pivot axis.

3. The interior layout according to claim 1 , wherein the display screen is touch-sensitive.

4. The interior layout according to claim 1 , wherein the upper part is generally in the form of a plate.

5. The interior layout according to claim 1 , wherein the support structure is mounted sliding on the floor.

13. A vehicle having an interior layout according to claim 1 .

14. A vehicle interior layout comprising:
a console having a support structure configured to be mounted on the floor of the vehicle and topped by an upper part, the upper part being rotatable around a substantially vertical pivot axis; and
a display device having a display screen borne by the upper part of the console, wherein the display screen is movable between at least a raised position in which a display surface is visible and a folded down position in which the display surface is hidden, the display screen being folded down on the upper part,
wherein the console has a hand rest arranged on the upper part such that a user can place the forearm, the wrist, or the palm of the hand on the hand rest while touching the display screen, and
wherein the display screen in the raised position extends substantially vertically with the display surface facing the rear and the display screen in the folded down position extends substantially horizontally with the display screen folded onto the upper part with the display surface facing downward.

15. A vehicle interior layout comprising:
a console having a support structure configured to be mounted on the floor of the vehicle and topped by an upper part, the upper part being rotatable around a substantially vertical pivot axis, wherein the upper part defines a storage area for receiving a roaming electronic device; and
a display device having a display screen borne by the upper part of the console, wherein the display screen is movable between at least a raised position in which a display surface is visible and a folded down position in which the display surface is hidden, the display screen being folded down on the upper part,
