As it prepares to celebrate ten years of its artistic patronage program, the rencontres équinoxes, Camille Fournet announces its first participation in the Salon Art Paris, from April 3 to 6, 2025, at the Grand Palais. The Parisian House of Haute Maroquinerie thus intends to reaffirm its solid foothold in the contemporary art scene.
Baptism of fire for an 80-year-old brand at Art Paris.
This April, Camille Fournet is presenting its first exhibition at the Art Paris Fair. Entitled Le Chuchotement des Mains (The Whisper of Hands), this staging, orchestrated by the artist Lucien Murat, evokes this hybrid space where contemporary creation meets craftsmanship of excellence.
The House of Fine Leather Goods, which celebrates its 80th anniversary this year, is preparing to expand into the Orient and strengthen its distribution in the United States.
An anniversary exhibition
For the past 10 years, Camille Fournet Paris has been developing a patronage of original artistic creation. Twice a year, the company invites artists to immerse themselves in the privileged relationship that the leather goods manufacturer has with leather as part of its rencontres équinoxes.
A true record of these encounters between artist and artisan, the exhibition Le Chuchotement des mains, which will be presented this spring at Art Paris, will display some ten works, from Yasmina Benabderrahmane to ORLAN, Fabrice Hyber and Renaud Auguste-Dormeuil.
