Description
Some designers imagine total set designs, which are intrinsically temporary. Constance Guisset has created sets for Angelin Preljocal, while India Madhavi has crafted the design for the "Nouvelles vagues" exhibition. This is work they do as a side gig in addition to their work as designers.

India Mahdavi
Architect & Designer
Architect, designer and installation designer, India Mahdavi lives and works in Paris. Since the beginning of her career in the Nineties, and the opening of her studio in Paris in 1999, India Mahdavi has developed, through her achievements, a certain vision of happiness and color that she has largely contributed to re-creating. In 2003, she launched her first collection of furniture and opened her showroom, 3 rue las cases. From the Cloister Hotel to The Gallery at Skit, from Monaco to Los Angeles, she has designed numerous venues, bars, restaurants, clubs and hotels, set designs, and private residences. India Mahdavi tackles different subjects, at different scales, and introduces her concepts on the contemporary scene in a singular, eclectic and nomadic way, celebrating a Pop version of the Orient in the West.
