Production

The Louis Gabriel Nouchi SS24 show was staged in the mezzanine of Palais Tokyo in Paris.

Paf Atelier, who designed the set, reused metal sheets mounted on wooden frames. The metal sheets were previously used for the Nike Dance Festival in 2022. To further reduce the show’s environmental impact, the materials were directly transported from Paf Atelier's warehouse and assembled on-site, eliminating the need for transportation to a production workshop. 

The design of the elements allowed for installation within a single day, requiring minimal hardware. A simple attachment system of orange textile straps ensured easy disassembly and extended the panels' lifespan. The metal cast reflections and silhouettes of the models occupying the runway, creating a dynamic set for the show. 

The approach of reusing and remaking props for different projects embodies a sustainable, responsible approach to set design. The designer makes clear that a low-impact approach, however, does not translate to a toned-down one.
