In 2021, as part of Mercedes-Benz’s launch of the EQ electric line, Alicia Keys performed an intimate set inside a Mercedes dealership transformed for the occasion.
For this event, Daphnée Lanternier designed a temporary jazz club within the NY concessionaire, turning the showroom into a warm, atmospheric space where luxury design met live music. The installation blended classic jazz-club textures with the sleek aesthetics of the EQ brand, creating an immersive setting for Alicia Keys’s performance and the debut of Mercedes’ new electric vision.
