Weather gods

This project is based on the astonishment we can feel when the weather changes. It embodies the sudden arrival of rain, the appearance of a clearing, or the detonations of thunder through the action of divine creatures.

In French, the expression “Faire la pluie et le beau temps”, dating from 1732, could refer to the all-powerful mythological gods who had the ability to control the rain and the fine weather.

Each scene shows a wind, rain, or rainbow spirit in action. The creatures are depicted as half-human, half-animal chimeras to evoke the human cause of climate change.

A multidisciplinary creative agency founded by Isabelle Daëron in 2018, Studio Idaë arose from a reflection on the use of natural flows — water, air, light — in public space.

The Studio has, ever since, developed an approach based on research and education, focusing on the urban, environmental and societal challenges of the ecological transition.

Driven by a poetical & committed team of designers, Studio Idaë applies its refined, assertive graphic signature to projects of various scales. From urban devices to mediation objects and supports, or scenography, the agency’s protean contributions always strive at others — their needs, their desires, and their evolution.

The agency operates within a network of local companies and collaborates with dedicated craftspeople to adapt to the specific characteristics of each territory. Together, they work towards the most appropriate and relevant response — between narration and mediation.

Pauline Avrillon, product designer graduated from École Boulle joined the studio in 2017, and works on urban design projects. Angèle Fourteau,  product designer graduated from ECAL works on set design projects since 2022. Eléna Hervé Caro joined the team in 2023 as office manager.
