PARIS
→ KYOTO
→ PARIS.
Four designers.
Two cultures.
New perspectives.
What happens when contemporary French design encounters Japanese traditions of craftsmanship, material and making?
Paris → Kyoto → Paris brings together four creative practices shaped by an experience of Japan. Each offers a different response to the dialogue between cultures, techniques and artistic ideas.
LIGHT.
GLASS.
RITUAL.
Born in 1981, Felipe Ribon approaches design through experimentation with objects, materials and the experiences they create.
His work invites us to reconsider familiar gestures and the relationship between function, sensation and form.
THE
ART OF
FORM.
Jewellery becomes architecture on the body.
Marion Vidal explores the relationship between jewellery, sculpture and material. Her creations move beyond ornament, approaching the body as a space for artistic expression.
In Plastron Muse, black bamboo and yellow gold create a dialogue between natural structure and precious craftsmanship.
MATERIAL
IN MOTION.
At the intersection of textile experimentation, natural pigments and traditional techniques, Tony Jouanneau explores the expressive possibilities of fabric.
ECHIRO brings together silk organza, organic pigments and techniques including shibori, dorozome, pleating and sewing. The work connects materials and processes from France and Japan.
QUIET
STRENGTH.
Hinn Studio's sculptural practice brings attention to balance, material and the expressive qualities of form.
Through considered shapes and tactile details, the works invite a slower way of looking — one that reveals how material and craftsmanship can communicate without excess.
