A platform for exhibitions, meetings, discoveries and the sharing of practices, la Galerie du 19M is a multifaceted space. Designed by Studio GGSV, its interior architecture lends itself well to its polymorphous nature: amphitheatre, stage, showroom, store, workshops – the space is incredibly versatile. To host a multitude of events, it is divided into three areas: a space overlooking ; on the mezzanine level, a work studio suited to recordings, presentations and showrooms; and at the back, a sweeping 550m2 open space with a ceiling height of 7.5 metres for large-scale exhibitions.
Its hybrid infrastructure is fully modular and can be tailored to all requirements. The lighting system can be retracted, and the seats and tables can be arranged together or spread out across the entire space. In keeping with the project’s overall vocation, the interior design includes the manual savoir-faire of craftspeople and artistic artisans, as well as the expertise of local players, in a virtuous practice of mentoring and upcycling.
