We were happily surprised when Alexandra Senes and Stéphane Wargnier from la Chambre Syndicale de la Couture contacted us to do the set design for their end of the year dinner.

The dinner was held at the beautiful space of 5 Rue du Mail in Paris, gathering 60 guests from both the art and the fashion world. Jonas Marguet and I created some installations for the table composed of oversized breads, gigantic flowers, and dripping candles.
