Matter and Shape curates an ephemeral shop with the best of design in Paris
by Ivica Mamedy
In March 2024, Matter and Shape introduced the first edition of their design salon in the Jardin des Tuileries, the first of its kind, revealed during Paris Fashion Week. Following the success and their high-end curation of the best of the design contemporary scene, Matter and Shape just announced their first momentary space on the second floor of Galeries Lafayette Paris Haussmann running until January 6, 2025.
In conversation with the salon’s commitment to showcasing global expressions of contemporary design, Matter and Shape curated a selection of 15 international brands and indépendant designers which will engage for the first time in dialogue with the fashion brands available on the second floor of the Galeries Lafayette Paris Haussmann. Creating a unique lifestyle showcase for the holiday season. Visitors will discover striking industrial design pieces alongside artisanal art objects in a neutral environment styled with brushed cotton and natural wood tones, echoing the minimalist aesthetic of MATTER and SHAPE’s debut in the Tuileries Garden during Paris Fashion Week in March 2024.
This ephemeral Matter and Shape hors les murs boutique will feature objects from BD Barcelona, Bocci, ESKA, Flos, Grau, Griegst, IAAC Crafts, Lobmeyr, Marbledworks, Natalia Criado, NM3, Older, Prounis, sacai x Astier De Villatte and Verre d’Onge. Powered by the international salon experts WSNV, Matter and Shape is teasing us with this selection of objects, how well curated and exciting will be the 2025 edition. You can already save the date as it’s happening in March 2025 and designers and brands can apply here.
