Since its creation by Ateliers d'Art de France, the Révélations show has established itself as a key event on the contemporary crafts scene. Every two years, in the heart of Paris, it brings together creators from all over the world around the same commitment: to bring exceptional skills to life and help them evolve.
The 2025 edition, hosted at the Grand Palais, chose to honor Italy, a land of heritage and creation, whose craft traditions continue to influence the international scene. To mark the occasion, we were delighted to present an original project in collaboration with the Collectif Par Excellence. Under the artistic direction of Tony Ingrao, renowned american architect and designer, the scenography brought together bespoke pieces specially imagined for the occasion.
For this project, Ingrao drew inspiration from the Grand Palais itself—specifically its sweeping Art Nouveau architecture, rich in organic forms and allusions to nature. The space celebrates the essence of French craftsmanship: innovation grounded in tradition, exquisite materials, forward-thinking creativity, and an obsessive attention to detail. United by a common vision, we combined our distinctive savoir-faire and pushed back the limits of our techniques. The scenography made a strong impression, both on the general public and on French President Emmanuel Macron.
The immersive exhibition runs until May 25 at the Grand Palais Éphémère. Each piece can be customized upon request to the Par Excellence team.
