"Beyond our Horizons": from Tokyo to Paris

Their spanning sculpture, ceramics, textiles, and light installations affirm that craft is not a fixed tradition, but a living art in perpetual transformation.   

These principles describe a world in perpetual dialogue, where harmony and impermanence, stability and movement, body and spirit respond to one another.  Beyond our Horizons: from Tokyo to Paris highlights how artists and artisans have long drawn inspiration from nature’s rhythms. This ongoing process of transmission and renewal brings us back to what is essential: every act of creation opens a dialogue.   

Designed by ATTA – Atelier Tsuyoshi Tane Architects –, the scenography unfolds in five movements, echoing the five elements. Light textile screens shape the spaces, drawing a fluid path between opacity and transparency. Their presence creates an architecture of air — structured yet open — in resonance with the atmosphere first imagined in Tokyo.  

In Paris, this interplay of layers and light becomes a metaphor for dialogue itself: a space where traditions, materials, and cultures meet, overlap, and transform.
