AT THE CROSSROADS OF FINE CRAFT AND DESIGN, INNOVATING AND HIGHLIGHTING THE WORK OF HUMAN HANDS
To celebrate ten years of the Slow Made movement and the Year of Glass, a look back at our relationship with the work of human hands, with materials, and with the design process. How can design challenge expert artisanal skill, and viceversa? How does the return to the human factor question the very notion of production, of orders?

WOOD: TREND OR TIMELESS MATERIAL?
Turned wood, solid wood, a combination of materials…The collections currently on the market reflect consumers’ interest in this noble material, which has also been enhanced by the technical options for working with it. We also offer a focus on Inoki, a sacred Japanese wood that is easy to work with and is highly sensual.

THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE IN THE VIRTUAL WORLD
Between websites, the development of apps, and now, forays into the metaverse, the virtual customer experience is an experience in its own right for the world of retail. How can we analyze customer behavior to better recapture emotion? How can we create a “meta-sensible” and attractive virtual space? What are the ecological impacts of the growth of this parallel marketplace?

JAPAN, A LAND OF INSPIRATION
The Villa Kujoyama has just celebrated its 30th anniversary. Around twenty designers have experienced residencies within its walls, during a stay that led them to question their practices, as well as Japanese ones. Ever since, other cooperative programs have been developed. What if Japan, through its relationship with craftsmanship and materials, were a source of inspiration for a transition toward greater modernity?

REISSUE: BRINGING PIECES BACK TO LIFE, OR REINVENTING THEM
Collection reissues require constant adjustments that are imperceptible to clients, while expecting the chosen iconic item to be just as functional, posing a real challenge to the in-house design team. How does one select a product for reissue? Somewhere between heritage and the fight against premature product obsolescence, some shared experiences, and points of view.
Karin Gintz, France Director Vitra

ART & DESIGN, POTENTIAL SYNERGIES
As part of international programming, in recent gallery showings and at foundations, design is being recognized as a field in its own right and is joining other artistic disciplines in a growing number of cross-pollinations. Is this a path forward led by other countries?

CARTE BLANCHE FOR WOMEN IN DESIGN
For one year, Women in Design has been conducting a meticulous search to find 52 female designers with iconic career paths, both renowned and lesser known.

Starting in September, this collective will reveal one designer profile per week. Here’s a look back at this search.

Invisible cities: toward a poetry of data?
A new urban landscape is taking shape: with the appearance of intelligent video cameras, sound-recognition systems, and even particle detectors, we’re seeing a massification of data collection throughout our environment. How can there be greater transparency around the collection of urban data? What if new human-data interactions were possible? And what if this material called data took shape to serve a certain poetic vision of the city and the interests of its citizens? This roundtable will be all about questioning the sensory experience of cities: embodying data to make it visible, palpable, auditory, olfactory…accessible, and democratic. A talk organized by the Institut Français du Design.
