Here Mingei-specialist, critic and curator Nicolas Trembley had threaded an “Art + Craft” theme through the fair, inviting galleries to bring works that crossed borders of genre and discipline.
 
Charlotte Ketabi, responsible for the joyful Ketabi Bourdet stand, comments “The mood was extremely positive and dynamic, collectors were curious and open to discovering new works, artists and media.” They sold a floor lamp by Elizabeth Garouste (a unique piece from 2023) to an important French collection, with great interest also shown in the not-for-sale ‘Prince Impérial’ chair by Garouste & Bonetti.
