From brief to installation
A complete workshop approach.
We work from the artist’s drawings, model or three-dimensional files. Material, seams, proportions and inflation are developed around the artistic intent. Fabrication and testing take place in Paris. Packing, transport and installation support are agreed for the individual artwork.
Didier Marcel — Nuit magique
For Nuit magique, JC Keller manufactured ten illuminated inflatable mushrooms, each 1.80 m high. The repeated white forms needed a consistent silhouette and a material that diffused light while retaining their sculptural presence.
Benjamin Millepied / Richard Mille
A six-metre transparent inflatable cushion was made for Sorbet Magazine’s The Movement Issue, featuring Benjamin Millepied with Richard Mille. Photographed in the Fontainebleau sandstone quarries, the volume interacts with the dancer and the landscape.
From artistic model to fabrication
The artist, designer or scenographer defines the intended form and experience. The workshop studies materials and pattern making, then assembles and inflates the envelope for tests. A model or prototype can be considered when a shape or technical question requires it. These commissions are made to order, rather than selected from a standard sculpture catalogue.
Plan the exhibition
Share dimensions, exhibition dates, indoor or outdoor conditions, audience access, lighting, rigging and the installation window. Repeat display, handling and storage should be included in the brief.
