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.

Scenography
Echoing the fundamental components of festival scenography, the project is structured around a deliberate logic of compressing technical elements into multiple micro-spaces. Crash barriers, risers, and stage equipment are layered and interwoven, unified by a single formal gesture. Each fragment becomes an autonomous entity, dispersed across the dance floor and generating a continuous spatial punctuation. This constellation of structural objects modulates overall perception, composing a dense scenographic landscape in which accumulation and repetition produce a fragmented reading of space.
