The Venue – The Scenography
For its 12ᵗʰ edition, Les Rendez-Vous de la Matière by FORMÆ returns to Le Carreau du Temple, an iconic venue in the Marais district of Paris. This 19ᵗʰ-century covered market, beautifully restored, offers nearly 2,000 m² of exhibition space bathed in natural light — an exceptional setting where industrial architecture, heritage, and contemporary creation come together in perfect harmony.
Within this historic space, the scenography by Studio Pauline Leprince offers an immersive and unprecedented experience, designed to stimulate imagination, reveal material textures, and highlight the richness of the works on display. Conceived as a true sensory journey, it showcases innovation, creativity, and the excellence of the exhibitors, while encouraging meaningful encounters between specifiers, designers, and manufacturers.
Between architectural staging and experiential design, this new edition reaffirms the event’s mission: a laboratory of inspiration where material becomes the starting point for every creative process.
