For the last 25 years, Paris-based Ozone has illuminated the design world with clean, geometric, and architectural creations, all rooted in the shared passions of founders Etienne Gounot and Éric Jähnke. Now, to mark a quarter century of excellence, those designs and a peek at what’s to come are on display in an innovative exhibition titled “Dawn Light.”

On view in three spaces at New York’s Templon Gallery, the exhibition unfolds “like chapters, memories of successful achievements,” and includes iconic collections such as Brasilia, designed by Michel Boyer in 1974 and produced by Ozone in 2011, Furtiv, designed by Gaëlle Lauriot-Prévost and Dominique Perrault for Ozone, Tennessee, designed by Glenn Sestig for Ozone, and Embrun, produced by the brand’s founders.

The showcase, which marks the first exhibition for Ozone of this scale in the U.S., offers a closer look at the inspirations and materials behind each creation, which have been included in Louis Vuitton boutiques, Monsieur Bleu in Paris, Saint-Louis crystal, and more.
