MATTE Projects

MATTE featured in the The New York Times - we produced an interactive booth for Diesel at ComplexCon 2024, as part of their global Diesel Art Collective activation. We put up large canvasses and invited guests at the convention to leave their mark with airbrush spray guns before shipping them back to Milan to be used as the backdrop for the Diesel FW25 fashion show.

MATTE partnered with HBO to launch the hit series "The Penguin" in New York City (aka Gotham) and beyond through a series of stunt "drops" and a clandestine booth hidden within Little Italy's annual San Gennaro festival. "Gotham Goods", a faux delivery company created by MATTE, collaborated with Only NY to gift custom merch to fans, while notorious city businesses and personalities were tapped to befriend the operation. Partners included Emilio Ballato, Scarr's Pizza, The Ocky Way, Casa Magazines and New York Nico.The show's premiere garnered over 16 million viewers, HBO's highest ever.

Thinking back to the Last Drops of Summer party we threw with Bacardi to celebrate the VMAs in NYC.

Last week, Vans took over NYC. Produced by MATTE, we brought back Max Fish and threw a concert reuniting TV on the Radio before crossing the river to throw an all-day block party featuring skaters and DJs.

Willy Chavarria's SS25 'América' show, which simultaneously launched his collaboration with Adidas—produced by MATTE Projects from experiential design to content capture and an iconic after party—brought raw emotion and striking design to life. A tribute to identity, culture, and resilience.
