Daphnée Lanternier is a multidisciplinary creative director and visual artist whose practice is built on a simple belief: the strongest ideas are carried through every stage of their execution. Working across live performance, music, fashion and contemporary culture, she develops projects where creative direction, scenography, spatial design and production are conceived as one continuous creative discipline.
She collaborates with musicians, artists, luxury houses and cultural institutions to create performances, installations and large-scale visual experiences. At the intersection of art, architecture, movement and sound, her work is driven by narrative, materiality and craftsmanship, balancing artistic ambition with technical precision.
Her studio develops projects internationally across music, fashion, luxury and the performing arts, working with a network of artists, designers, engineers, fabricators and production specialists to bring ambitious ideas into physical form.

Daphnée was invited by Spotify to design the first EQUAL Festival in Paris in 2025, a celebration of women’s voices across genres, bringing together Shay, Clara Luciani, Charlotte Cardin, Theodora, Oklou, Miki and Bamby for a night of live performance and artistic expression.
The stage design transformed the Palais Brongniart into an almost surreal landscape. Bathed in Spotify green, the space became one continuous environment, with the stage dissolving into the existing architecture. Set between the building’s arches, different spaces were revealed throughout the evening, allowing each artist to inhabit the stage in a different way.
Conceived as a playful, layered system, the scenography used light, architecture and movement to continuously reshape the space, creating an experience that felt both intimate and immersive.
