Matiere Noire is a Paris-based creative studio leading new approaches to spacial design. Built on a network of parallel disciplines, our operation cultivates ambivalence, using observational methods to ground its intuitive impulses. Matière Noire is driven by an appetite for the undefined, the hypothetical, the intangible. Its process celebrates unexpected derivations, developing them into bespoke applications of cross-cultural collaboration.

Light design
Scenography

The first collaboration between Matière Noire and Maison Margiela, the scenography and light design of the SS’25 presentation stages a discrete and intangible game of shadows and constriction serving the quiet elegance of the collection. Taking the blank canvas of the location as its starting point, the proposition builds on a sober reinterpretation of the essentials of scenography, using technical light systems as architectural elements. Haunting the raw set, a first light rig hangs low from the ceiling, enclosing the space and casting a strong warm light on the passing models, while a second structure floats higher, emitting a colder hue that traces abstract shadows on the barren runway.
