Révélations of contemporary beauty

© PHOTO PRO EVENT D.KELLER
The exhibitors at Révélations (fine craft and creation) all have in common a link with traditional methods of fabrication and quality. We are very fortunate to have this new salon at the Grand Palais to showcase international luxury craftsmanship. This first bi-annual exhibition put all  267 designers on the same footing regardless of reputation or scope of field.

Here is a smattering of examples of what was on display from the web site of Révélations which can still be viewed to find design work of unparalleled quality.

  1. ca persiste! les grandes traditions "fait main" plus "raffinements". c'est rassurant. i do so hope le belle france can see it's way economically to retaining it's role as a niche purveyor to the world vs. joining the race to the bottom. italy too. there are serious challenges......

    oh the eurostar....but it goes through a tunnel! i want to be above-ground. and it whizzes so fast, i can barely enjoy the countryside. (picky, at all?) but that aside, would luuuvvv to squeeze it in one day!

  2. Donna, wouldn't that be nice? That would be easier than choosing!

    Mlle P: Et comment! The level of talent and skill is staggering. That is the direction we impose on ourselves by making the accessible where labor is cheap.

    The tunnel only last 1/2 an hour - too bad it's not made of glass, eh? I feel sure you will try it and be convinced one day! I love flying too, but really it's so much more civilized to arrive directly into a city by train.
