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

The space is encircled by a continuous, enveloping bench, extended by a carpet dissolving the boundary between floor and furniture. This domestic device reintroduces notions of intimacy and comfort within the gallery, encouraging a suspended moment of observation and contemplation. A dialogue emerges between the act of reading the book and the reading of the artworks, brought together within a single, shared gesture.
