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.

For Robyn’s New Year’s Eve performance in New York, Daphnée developed an intimate stage environment built around a saturated orange palette. As one of the first performances ahead of Robyn’s album launch and tour, the space was conceived almost as an interior world — something organic and immersive, as if the audience were entering Robyn’s world rather than simply watching her perform.
Drawing partly from Kraftwerk’s visual language, the set used plastic materials whose surfaces were transformed by light. As the lighting shifted, the material revealed different textures, depths and reflections, creating movement and continuously reshaping the stage landscape.
