ethereal mirror-clad stage floats on palais de tokyo’s forecourt in paris

paf atelier designed the scenography of a fashion show placed on the forecourt of the palais de tokyo, a building dedicated to modern and contemporary art in paris, france. the floating ephemeral stage took shape on a big basin while a central run-way leads to a rectangular poly-mirror platform. the reflection of the chosen material adds a visual play multiplying the mannequins while creating the illusion of walking on the water’s surface from the audience’s perspective.

paf atelier designed the stage for the double show of the designer louis gabriel nouchi and the brand JOEONE during the paris fashion week. the ethereal stage offers a more complex design that always places the clothes at the center of the composition. perpetually in movement, the mirror-clad stage follows the rhythm of the collections that parade, while the sobriety and minimalism refer to the elegance of the clothes.
