In our day, we don’t want to let things go anymore. Everyone wants to regain control. The home is increasingly attractive. Traditional expertise is restoring value to manufactured goods. The latest luxury can be seen in a return to the essential beauty of craftsmanship and perfecting materials. We love watching the scenes of the creation which manufacturent exceptional objects. Makers and artisans redefine the rules of an alter-design. Contemplation of nature, the genius of the hand and the technological advances mark out the evolution of a world in the process of again.

NATURE MADE

François Bernard (Croisements)
Scientists, artists and designers of living things are summoning the spirit of nature and playing with its laws using somewhat bewitching rituals. Leaving things to chance, the experiments and mutations made by these bio-magiciansare catalyzing the supernatural.

HUMAN MADE

Elizabeth Leriche
As the tool for a new luxury, the hand is touching and transforming things. From the alphabet of materials and the grammar of crafts, neo-artisans’ expertise is putting together sensitive, rare items. The art of making is freeing the object from the norm so that it can leave its mark in time.

TECHNO MADE

Vincent Grégoire (NellyRodi)
Could the designer of tomorrow be hiding under an engineer’s coat? Designing benevolent machines connected to a digital environment, new algorithms for contemporary comfort are inventing a heightened relationship to the world..
