'One of the projects that stands out in my memory was the installation of the decor for the prestigious Zilli boutique at the Peninsula Hotel in Paris. What sometimes makes this job so captivating is that most people only see a finished décor, without realising the amount of work that went into creating it. This is exactly what happened with this artistic installation. The major complexity lay in the fact that the site's status as a listed monument meant that it had to be neither glued nor drilled. 

To tackle this challenge, we had to design a metal structure, a field far removed from the craft of framing, and devise the entire installation using magnets. The imposing dimensions of the artwork (8m x 3m50 high) added a further layer of complexity, requiring delicate handling of the printed panels. The final challenge was to integrate a television into the set. 

This is how the demanding job of a Muzéo installer takes shape. Installation is a meticulous symphony in which every note and every detail contributes to creating a work of art that lasts throughout its installation.

Your job in a few words: Precision and adaptation.
