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.

Sarah Staudinger and Ari Emanuel’s three-day wedding celebrated Saint-Tropez, the setting of their first date and a place connected to Sarah’s childhood. The weekend unfolded through a welcome dinner at Sénéquier, a beach day at Gigi’s, and a sunset ceremony followed by dinner and an all-night party.
As creative director, Daphnée Lanternier translated this personal connection into a setting that felt nostalgic, playful and authentically Mediterranean. Having grown up in the southeast of France, the project also resonated closely with her own memories and understanding of the region. With florist Thierry Boutemy, she created locally inspired tablescapes, five intimate gazebos and a glass dining pavilion, all designed to feel naturally embedded in the landscape.
The final environment captured the relaxed glamour of Saint-Tropez through soft colours, romantic florals and temporary architecture that appeared as though it had always belonged there. Elegant yet informal, the set created an immersive world filled with spontaneity, warmth and joy.
