An immersion in the heart of savoir-faire: Atelier Montex and Studio MTX
The tour begins with a special visit of the workshops at Atelier Montex and Studio MTX, two resident Maisons d’art at le19M that are pushing the boundaries of embroidery.
Founded in 1949, Atelier Montex stands out for its resolutely contemporary approach to embroidery. Whether using Lunéville crochet, hand-stitching, or the Cornely machine, the artisans bring creations to life in which beads, sequins, and unexpected materials interact with traditional techniques.
Established in 2013 within Atelier Montex, Studio MTX brings embroidery into the realm of interior design. The studio designs monumental works and bespoke creations that are installed in space, transforming embroidery into a true architectural language.
A preview of Metamorphoses: Hats by Maison Michel at la Galerie du 19M
The tour continues at la Galerie du 19M with the new exhibition Metamorphoses: Hats by Maison Michel, which is opening exceptionally for the European Heritage Days ahead of its official public opening.
Dedicated to le19M’s resident Maison d’art—a leading name in hats and headwear—the exhibition reveals the richness of Maison Michel’s craftsmanship and highlights the inventiveness of its artisans, blending tradition, contemporary design, and artisanal excellence.
la Parcelle: a garden for everyone
The tour concludes at la Parcelle, a cultural garden adjacent to le19M. This cultural venue invites visitors of all ages to discover a programme dedicated to the living arts, emerging creativity, and the values of craftsmanship.
Friday 18 September is reserved for school and associations.
