May collaborated with Paris-based atelier Pierre Augustin Rose to create an immersive showroom installation during Art Basel Paris, merging his artistic sensibilities with the brand’s iconic upholstered furniture collection. The project transformed the atelier’s Paris showroom into a gallery-like space — a refined intersection of painting, design, and atmosphere.

Marking May’s return to painting after a five-year hiatus, the installation featured hand-painted canvases that adorned and interacted with the furniture, offering a contemporary reinterpretation of classic forms. The space was enveloped in floor-to-ceiling high-gloss vinyl curtains, creating a cohesive and immersive environment.

The installation also included curated works from Galerie Peter Kilchmann, Galerie Chenel, Beck & Eggeling International Fine Art, Paul Sepuya, Manolo Valdés, Victor Guedy, Jonathan Binet, and Graham Hamilton — extending the project into a broader cultural dialogue.
