Art Deco, France / North America - Cité de l’architecture et du patrimoine

At the Cité de l’architecture et du patrimoine, housed in the Palais de Chaillot, itself an Art Deco landmark, Ponctuelle designed the lighting for the exhibition “Art Deco, France / North America”, shown in 2022-2023.

The exhibition traced the influence of French Art Deco on architecture, interiors and lifestyle across the Atlantic, from ocean liners to skyscrapers. The lighting highlights the models, drawings, furniture and objects on display, while respecting the conservation requirements of a museum exhibition.
