Willo Perron is a designer who has worked with some of the top talents in hip-hop such as Jay-Z, Rihanna, Drake, and most recently, Frank Ocean.

In a new page on his website, Perron shared some images showcasing his work on Ocean’s 2017 festival tour circuit. Included are several concept shots, as well as some photos from FYF Fest in Los Angeles on July 22, 2017.

From Willo Perron:

For Ocean’s festival shows, an intimate and sparsely adorned stage is integral to the immediacy of his performance. Proximity, precise set design, and artful video tracking give audiences a peak into the artist’s subconscious and the feeling they are in the studio, watching the music come to life for the very first time.

Process & Planning

Paneled video screens display the artful tracking of Spike Jonze’s video camera in the background. A sparse set adorned by Endless speakers and space age chairs designed by Tom Sachs serve as beautiful pieces for Frank to float through.
