Matière 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
Celebrating the first collection of freshly-appointed creative director, Peter Hawkings, Tom Ford’s SS’24 runway presentation is a contemporary re-creation of the house’s most iconic shows and sultry atmosphere of their stripped-back sets. A warm, diffused light cloaks the carpeted catwalk, detailing the craftsmanship of each piece with muted confidence. A system of secondary lights built along the runway add subtle highlights on metal and glitter, giving an editorial feel to the scene.
