Behind the scenes of
Beyond our Horizons: from Tokyo to Paris
with Lemarié, Atelier Lognon, and Paloma
Following its success in Tokyo, the exhibition Beyond our Horizons: from Tokyo to Paris returns to la Galerie du 19M.
Take a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the exhibition’s pieces, in the heart of the workshops of the Maisons d’art of le19M, with the flower and feather maker Lemarié, the pleater Atelier Lognon, and the specialist of flou, Paloma.
Atelier Lognon x Mikiya Toyoshima (Design Tochi)
For la Galerie du 19M, Design Tochi collaborated with Atelier Lognon on pleated fabrics inspired by the traditional ajiro bari weaving technique, which originates with fishing equipment and mats made from bamboo and other woods.
Lemarié x Kamisoe x Fujita Gasodo x Kanazawa Moku Seisakusho
Featured in the exhibition Beyond our Horizons: from Tokyo to Paris, this large tsuitate (a simple form of screen consisting of a single panel) with carved wooden legs marks the coming together of several crafts. That of Koh Kado from the Kamisoe studio, who created the traditional karakami patterned paper. That of Yasuyuki Kanazawa, founder of Kanazawa Moku Seisakusho, who carved the legs of this screen. Added to these crafts is the expertise in joinery and art framing of Yukio Fujita, a craftsman from the Fujita Gasodo workshop, as well as that of the flower maker Maison Lemarié. It was in this Maison d’art’s flower workshop that the floral motifs were designed, printed on paper and then affixed to a magnolia board coated with camellia oil, along with their three-dimensional interpretation: around a hundred flowers made of torinoko and karakami paper bloom beyond the surface of the tsuitate.
Lemarié x konomad
For la Galerie du 19M, the artist duo konomad devised five original hair creations, combining the art of wig-making with that of four Maisons d’art: the hatmaking of Maison Michel, the embroidery of Atelier Montex, the feather work of Lemarié, and the fashion jewellery of Goossens. Based on concepts sent to these various houses, the artisans at le19M brought various elements to life (embroidered fruit cones for Atelier Montex, gold-plated brass pins adorned with shells and coral for Goossens, feather weaving and marquetry for Lemarié, etc.), which were then assembled into the various wigs by konomad using a crochet technique that allows the strands to be knotted one by one into the mesh of a lace cap.
Paloma x Daisuke Igarashi
For the exhibition Beyond our Horizons: from Tokyo to Paris, the artist Daisuke Igarashi created a series of three works in acrylic on silk, each 4 metres long. On the large panels, scenes of nature unfold, populated by captivating depictions: a multitude of writhing insects, birds, endangered species, and strange human figures with reptilian limbs and tails. Within this phantasmagorical landscape, Maison Paloma created a vast aquatic world made up of transparent textiles.
Discover these works in the exhibition Beyond our Horizons: from Tokyo to Paris at la Galerie du 19M until 10 May 2026.
