Love (Union)

This second space within the theme of Love encapsulates the idea of union through exquisite objects that express love and commitment across different cultures and countries. An embroidered bridal headpiece, heart-shaped wooden stools, vases and decorative pieces featuring the colours and symbols of fertility and togetherness show how love is an enduring inspiration for contemporary craftspeople, whatever their culture or language. Alongside the work of independent artisans, several prestigious maisons present romance-inspired objects and demonstrate the savoir-faire involved in making and restoring them, allowing visitors to witness the passion, care and – yes – love that goes into crafting objects of lasting beauty. All under the shimmering light of bespoke, monumental lamps.
