Studio Marie Douel is specialized in exhibition design and scenographic interventions.
The studio is dedicated to create a translation of emotions into physical space. In a discrete way an overlap is created by the studio to position selected curatoria subjects into a readable and understandable narrative.
One of its ambition is to make culture accessible to a broader public by thinking of new ways to exhibit in outdoor space, exploring the boundaries of the museum context.
Marie Douel is a designer whose practice focuses on exhibition design & scenography. Her work is dedicated to creating immersive exhibitions. She mixes mediums to reveal the stories behind the projects and multiply the points of views.
