the studio<\/a> uses scenography as a direct tool for critique, operating on the belief that a designer\u2019s true role is to build connections between objects, narratives, disciplines, and generations.<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018TOUT EST CHAOS was born from a simple yet very contemporary observation: in a world saturated with objects, where what is meant to set us free ends up cluttering our lives, and where excess becomes paralysing, how do designers manage to create?\u2019 Pli office reflects. \u2018 TOUT EST CHAOS was conceived as a response to the turmoil of the world. It offers a moment of slowing down and a space for doubt \u2014 a space where objects can exist without having to justify their profitability.\u2019<\/p>\n

the question is no longer what design can solve, but what it can provoke: desire, emotion, curiosity, and the unexpected<\/p>\n

DYNAMIC DESIGN LANDSCAPE FROM OBJECTS TO 360\u00b0 FILM<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
To bring this curatorial vision to life, Paf Atelier designed a spatial layout defined by exposed structural elements, raw industrial materials, and modular assembly. Unfolding across both levels of La Ga\u00eet\u00e9 Lyrique, two 30-meter-long metal spines organize the exhibition space while serving as direct supports for the displayed works. Built around simple, reusable production principles, the scenography functions as architecture, display infrastructure, and a design object in its own right. Its raw steel framework leaves the mechanical assembly entirely visible. To soften this rigid industrial structure, bright, heart-shaped forms are placed throughout the venue, guiding visitors along their path while creating inviting display moments.<\/p>\n

Surrounding these metallic frameworks, \u2018TOUT EST CHAOS\u2019 unfolds as a dynamic landscape. The exhibition brings together 11 invited studios, including matali crasset, Samy Rio, Odd Matter, Baptiste Meyniel, Camille Viallet & Th\u00e9o Leclercq, Cluzel \/ Pluchon, Gr\u00e9gory Lacoua, Lucas Lorigeon \/ Beno\u00eet Hody, Maria Jeglinska-Adamczewska, Patrick de Glo de Besses, and Atelier Fomenta. They are joined by 64 designers selected through an international open call. Replacing a rigid path with an open layout, the exhibition allows prototypes, material experiments, and installations to freely interact. <\/p>\n

To anchor the showcase, Pli office debuts its first film, \u2018TOUT EST CHAOS\u2019, directed by Jason Borruso inside the venue\u2019s immersive 360 Room. The video installation provides a quiet break from the surrounding physical objects, shifting the experience from material collection to cinematic reflection. This digital interlude invites visitors to pause and step back from the physical accumulation of forms.<\/p>\n
