To create the shortlisted Dune Written by Denis Villeneuve, decorator Patrice Vermette returned to the source: the novel of the same name, signed by Frank Herbert and published in 1965. Vermette tried to imagine how the weather conditions described in the book, especially the relentless winds, might have influenced the architecture in which the characters were formed, which gave these constructions with angles and durable edges, made of imposing stones to protect themselves from the heat.
