Shine like you can’t shine no more
Villa Eugénie
Villa Eugenie trusted us with an assignment that every craftsman would be jealous of. We built and assembled 35 custom devices, designed by architecture firm OMA, for Miu Miu’s exhibition during Art Basel Paris.
Who do you call when the project requires creativity, construction, audiovisual and technical support? Us! And that’s exactly what Villa Eugenie did, as they knew we were the only company in Europe able to pull this off (including a very tight deadline).
The show ‘Tales & Tellers’, set in the historic Palais d’Iéna in Paris, uses a range of media to tell women’s stories. The event featured video pieces and live performances where actors embody characters from previous Miu Miu film collaborations, transforming the space into a dynamic narrative.
The devices all had one thing in common: their shiny surface. A lot of research went into perfecting and selecting the right material to get the look the client wanted. The production team spent hours polishing the objects’ stainless-steel surface until they looked like mirrors. Many devices also had integrated LED in uncommon shapes and video monitors in many different sizes (even round video screens), meaning a close collaboration between our engineering and technical team was required.
All devices were assembled in our workshop and transported to the location with the utmost care. An on-site team remained standby during the week in case assistance, or some extra polishing was necessary.
