Biography of exhibition designer Nathalie CriniÈre, Agence NC

Nathalie Crinière graduated in interior architecture at the Ecole Boulle and in industrial design at the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Arts Décoratifs, Paris. While in higher education she also studied at the Georgia Tech institute of technology in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. After completing her studies she spent a year in Barcelona, Spain, working in the practice of interior architect Pepe Cortes.

Agence NC now works for leading culture institutions while also developing a portfolio of private clients. Its achievements include display design for exhibitions such as Yves Saint Laurent dialogue avec l'Art at Fondation Pierre Berge YSL, Jean Cocteau at the Centre Pompidou, Le cerveau intime at the Cite des Sciences et de l'Industrie de la Villette, Giacometti at Christie's and Portraits danses for the Theatre de l'Odeon, and for shops such as Agnes b., Galerie Sentou and Compagnie Francaise de l'Orient et de la Chine.
