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 the first edition of Wales Bonner’s Togetherness at Hôtel Le Marois, Daphnée conceived the evening as a journey through the 19th-century hôtel particulier. Each performance occupied a different room, allowing the architecture to become part of the experience.
The programme brought together La Fève, Etran de L’Aïr, Mansur Brown, Ibou Calebasse, Sarz and Chris Kirkley of Sahel Sounds, with each artist given a distinct setting while the evening unfolded as one continuous experience through the building.
