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

Matière Noire’s scenography and light design for Rain’s vitrines and pop-up store isolate meteorological phenomena in a sensuous exploration of the poetics of weather. This proposal underlines the brand's versatility, presenting it in a futuristic universe that oscillates between technology and fantasy. A monolithic LED structure towers over an abstract brutalist set, broadcasting an artificial cascade that floods the Galeries Lafayette’s atrium. In a Sisyphean duel between machine and climate, a robotic system ceaselessly cleans the misty glass, revealing the brand’s logo and weatherproof garments
