Love (Courtship)

Whether romantic or familial, between platonic friends or close colleagues, love is a fundamental part of the human experience, but it is not always easy to express. In two connected spaces, we explore the essential role craft plays in helping us convey the depth of our feelings through meaningful objects handcrafted with passion and care. The first space, dedicated to courtship, presents a garden of seduction, alive with flowers crafted from an array of materials by artisans across the globe, revealing the diverse creativity provoked by this universal symbol of love. Some objects represent the love and respect between artisans working together, while several precious pieces demonstrate the longstanding use of flowers in high jewellery, always connected with a declaration of love.
