Studio Mumbai founder Bijoy Jain works in collaboration with the creative director of [Louis Vuitton](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yellow-toy-racetrack), Pharrell Williams on the new stage set for the Pompidou Show. It took place at the Centre Pompidou and reflects the look of a [giant Snakes and Ladders board](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/printworks-x-rosewood). The set shows off the brand's Spring/Summer 2026 menswear designs.

Jain explains the design to Dezeen, "The set design – a 1:1 wood model – is rendered and coloured with a clay slip of burnt umber pigment. White lines of lime are struck with a taut string to create a chequerboard pattern, framed in the centre of the space. Five serpents, varying in size and movement, are hand-drawn and painted… a cosmic map set in the piazza of Centre Pompidou in Paris."
