What CHROMATIK does

Chromatik is a Paris-based light design and scenography studio founded in 2012 that creates custom luminous experiences for artistic, cultural, and commercial clients. The studio operates as a small creative practice (1–10 employees, three named creatives: co-founders Guillaume Fournier and Victor Lagiewski, and assistant Sarah Compain) under the French SAS corporate form with stated capital of €40,000 and no external institutional investment. Its work is organized around four service lines — Expériences immersives (immersive experiences), Spectacles / Concerts (concerts and live performance), Expositions / Muséographie (museum and exhibition lighting), and Expériences de marque (brand experiences) — supported by three cross-cutting capabilities: conception lumière (aesthetic and technical light design from concept to execution), dispositifs immersifs (immersive installations and sensory pathways), and direction artistique (360° artistic direction integrating light, image, sound, rhythm, and space, including optional sound design, mixing, and mastering).

The studio's underlying craft combines traditional light design with video mapping and integrated multi-sensory scenography, executed through direct collaboration with curators, artistic directors, and brand clients. Engagements are bespoke, project-based, and quote-priced; technical execution is typically delivered alongside a tightly knit partner ecosystem including Moment Factory, Thierry Dreyfus, Cités Immersives, Paf Atelier, Downtown Studio, and Nikito World, with technical and equipment partners such as Magnum, Novelty, Dushow, ETC Audiovisuel, S Group, Laser Movement, Impact Evenement, and Le Studio Dynamic.

Chromatik's commercial model is enterprise field-sales professional services: it works directly with luxury maisons (Dior, Shiseido, L'Artisan Parfumeur, Martell), automotive brands (Mercedes-Benz, Renault), consumer and technology companies (Samsung, Adidas, SNCF Connect), cultural and museum institutions (Musée Carnavalet, Grand Palais Éphémère, Notre-Dame de Reims, House of Digital Art Mauritius), performing-arts venues (Opéra de Paris, Folies-Bergères, Fnac Live Festival), and leisure operators (Nikito World, Ocean Park Hong Kong), spanning France, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Spain, Singapore, Shanghai, and other international markets.

Core offering

Chromatik is a Paris-based light design studio that designs and delivers bespoke lighting and scenographic systems for immersive experiences, exhibitions, performing arts shows, and luxury brand events. The studio provides end-to-end light design services—from artistic conception and technical design through on-site execution—often in collaboration with specialized technical partners (lighting, video, laser, sound). Its offerings span four service lines: immersive experiences, spectacles/concerts, expositions/muséographie, and brand experiences, supported by core capabilities in light conception, immersive installations, and 360-degree artistic direction.

Product overview

Chromatik is a Paris-based light design studio founded in 2012, operating as a single unified creative practice rather than a software platform. The company offers four primary service lines: immersive experiences (expériences immersives), shows/concerts (spectacles/concerts), exhibitions/museography (expositions/muséographie), and brand experiences (expériences de marque). These services are supported by core capabilities in light conception (conception lumière), immersive installations (dispositifs immersifs), and artistic direction (direction artistique) including sound design. All offerings involve custom-designed lighting solutions for artistic, event, and architectural applications across luxury, museography, entertainment, and leisure sectors.

Direct peers

• Cités Immersives: French studio specializing in large-scale immersive cultural exhibitions (e.g., Vikings: l'Odyssée, La Cité immersive des Fables). Both partner and competitor to Chromatik on museum-grade immersive scenography projects in France.
• Moment Factory: Montreal-based immersive entertainment studio creating multimedia night walks and experiential environments. It is both a direct competitor for immersive project bids and Chromatik's most important co-development partner, making it the closest comparable in scope, craft, and clientele.
• Superbien: Paris-based artistic direction and immersive scenography studio working across luxury brand events, retail, and cultural projects. Overlaps directly with Chromatik's brand-experiences vertical and competes for the same luxury and corporate clients in France and internationally.
• Pragma: Paris creative studio providing artistic direction and scenography for luxury and cultural clients. Comparable in size, craft, and client base, and an active co-bid partner with Chromatik (e.g., L'Artisan Parfumeur ephemeral boutique).
• L'Observatoire International: New York lighting design firm working on architecture, museums, and high-end commercial projects globally. Directly comparable professional services peer offering architectural lighting design at the prestige tier.
• Lighting Design Alliance: US lighting design consultancy specializing in architectural lighting for museums, performing arts centers, and brand environments. Comparable in offering (specialized lighting design) and target market (cultural and commercial prestige projects).
• Paf Atelier: Paris scenography firm collaborating with Chromatik on exhibitions and architectural projects (Palais augmenté, Bold Luxembourg, America's Cup Barcelona). Comparable in scale, working on the same kinds of cultural and brand scenography briefs.
• Downtown Studio: Geneva-based creative studio producing immersive experiences and scenography (e.g., Together - Portail des Nations). Partner and competitor of Chromatik for immersive cultural projects in Switzerland and beyond.

Broad incumbents

• teamLab: Japan-founded digital art collective producing large-scale immersive installations worldwide. Comparable end-product (immersive sensory environments) but operates at much larger scale with proprietary digital art infrastructure rather than light design.

Emerging players

• Meow Wolf: US-based immersive art and entertainment company building permanent large-scale experiential venues. Overlaps on immersive-experience design philosophy but focuses on permanent attractions rather than touring events.
