Agence NC explores all sorts of museum trips and stages all kinds of event exhibits and exhibitions. Permanent or temporary, small or big, heritage or thematic, modest, spectacular or cultural, the agency gets involved in a great variety of projects. 

Materials, colors,
spaces, lights,
contents, displays.

Its activity extends its influence to great cultural institutions in France and abroad, but also to a private clientele. Its core business also includes interior design.

Its courtyard located in the 11th district of Paris has become a cultural melting-pot over the years, which unites graphic designers, lighting designers, designers, screenwriters and multimedia designers.

Driven by curiosity and intuition, l’Agence NC always adds its personal sensibility in this emerging discipline that combines the ephemeral art, knowledge, heritage and entertainment.

It is in this creative and innovative atmosphere that we imagine stage sets, whose ambition in form and content makes each project unique.

In response to the climate emergency and to the necessity of changing our profession, the agency is developing an ecodesign pole. By participating in round tables, regularly informing our clients of new practices, challenging every step of project (the Brezet wheel principle) and increasing customer understanding, we are evolving in a collaborative spirit that benefits the entire profession.

Our aim is to create more sustainable exhibitions, without compromising creativity, economic viability and suitability for all publics.

Thinking lightweight, optimising the quantity of materials, reusing as much as possible, encouraging sustainable materials and researching innovative eco-materials are all matters that concern us on a daily basis.

Since 2020, the agency has been involved in the Augures Lab Scénogrrrraphie association, and more particularly in the working group that is designing and developing the Écothèque: a collaborative digital platform based around ecoscenography, a tool for all professionals in the cultural sphere, from design to production.
