Jérémy Pradier-Jeauneau Unveils 'La Tempête' Inside Arc de Triomphe for Paris Design Week
Born in 1986, Jérémy Pradier-Jeauneau has transitioned from being an antiquarian and gallery owner to an artist. He will showcase his sensory installation, 'La Tempête,' at the Arc de Triomphe from September 10 to October 4, 2026, coinciding with Paris Design Week. This event is notable as it represents the monument's second artist takeover, following Christo's wrapping in 2021. Proposed by the Centre des monuments nationaux after his 2025 project at the Hôtel de la Marine, Pradier-Jeauneau's work delves into themes of intimacy and sensoriality. He collaborated with artisans and brands to create everything himself, drawing inspiration from Caravaggio and Victor Hugo, while Dominique Ropion of BDK Parfums crafted fragrances to enhance the experience.
