MATTE Projects

Designing for a co-branded experience, our role is to create a seamless dialogue between two distinct identities. For the launch of Maison Margiela x Christian Louboutin, MATTE crafted an immersive environment where each brand’s essence—Margiela’s conceptual white, and Louboutin’s iconic red—would be experienced in perfect balance.The night unfolded across two beats within the main space: the first half bathed in Margiela’s signature white, and the second half transformed into Louboutin’s bold red, anchored by a striking 15-foot floral installation and a DJ-driven dance floor. A second studio immersed guests in campaign projections and product storytelling. By harmonizing these aesthetics, we transformed the event into a singular, cohesive expression—an interplay of contrast and connection. For more:?https://lnkd.in/dyBFKSFs
