The duo Hélène Aguilar, curator of the exhibition and founder of the association pour un Design Sustainable, and Armelle Luton, conductor of the event, brilliantly educated a large public about the design of today and tomorrow. .

Audrey Guimard’s idea is simple and effective: to upcycle the materials and pieces gleaned by transforming them here into decorative screens. Sterile quarry stones, brass tubes and weathered bamboo echo the movement of Arte Povera.
