Located on the rue des Taillandiers in Paris, this reconstruction of the facade of the Patrick Seguin Gallery in absolute black was carried out following Jean Nouvel’s precise instructions. These included, the integration of a four-meter high door with textured glazing contiguous to hidden hinges, replacing the windows with black fixed glazing, as well as transforming the restrooms into a mysterious black and metal space. The integration of Jean Prouvé’s Ferembal house porticos in the gallery space was precisely designed for the inaugural exhibition.
