Daft Punk and LEGO Partner on Official Pyramid Stage Set

Fan-Designed Concept Becomes Official Product

The LEGO Group has announced a partnership with Daft Punk's Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo that will turn the retired electronic music duo into mini-figures. The collaboration will extend through products, video content, and brand events, with the first official set built around the pyramid stage from the duo's 2007 Alive tour.

The product began as a hobby project by Patrick Harboun of Luxembourg and his son. They submitted the design to LEGO Ideas, a platform where fans propose sets and the company reviews any idea that attracts 10,000 supporters. The entry won the grand prize in the platform's Music to Our Ears challenge in 2020 and later passed that threshold. LEGO Group has now approved the set for development.

Harboun's project arose out of lockdown creativity. While others baked sourdough during the pandemic, the father-son team channeled their shared Daft Punk obsession into LEGOs. His son, eight years old at the time, built a prototype from his existing brick collection before the elder Harboun used his engineering background to expand the concept digitally. The original design featured a rotating transparent-brick box nestled inside the iconic pyramid, powered by a motor with hanging lights that recreate the pulsing light show that accompanied anthems like One More Time and Around the World.

Short Film Launches the Partnership

The companies introduced the arrangement with a short film in which the mini-figures follow a floating holographic brick through a shadowy landscape until they reach a doorway the company calls the gates-of-play. As they step through, the surrounding world begins to assemble itself in rhythm with the soundtrack, each brick clicking into place on the beat until the robots are revealed at the controls of a console built entirely from LEGO elements.

Two songs from Daft Punk's catalog supply the music. Voyager, a cut from their 2001 album Discovery, opens the film and Human After All, the title track of their third album in 2005, sets up a closing joke about the robots becoming Builders After All. LEGO Group said they combed the duo's archive before settling on the pair.

Shared Creative Legacy

Cédric Hervet, the duo's longtime creative director, said the pyramid stage is one of the most recognizable expressions of Daft Punk's visual world. Julia Goldin, the LEGO Group's Chief Product and Marketing Officer, said the two brands share an ability to hold the attention of several generations at once and described the set as the first step of a longer collaboration.

More announcements are expected in 2027, according to the press release.
