The Exhibition Beyond our Horizons: from Tokyo to Paris Takes Over the Galerie du 19M in Paris/Aubervilliers
From January 29th to April 26th, 2026, the exhibition Beyond our Horizons: from Tokyo to Paris is being held at La Galerie du 19M in Paris/Aubervilliers. Building on the success of its Japanese edition in 2025, it travels to France in a reimagined presentation, celebrating the creative dialogue between Japanese and French artisans and designers. Inspired by a conception of the world governed by elemental forces, echoed in the philosophy of the five elements (earth, water, fire, wind and void), the exhibition explores the deep connections between nature and creation. Their spanning sculpture, ceramics, textiles and light installations affirm that craft is not a fixed tradition, but a living art in perpetual transformation.
The exhibition unveils exceptional pieces, including collaborations between Japanese craftsperson and the Maisons d’art of Le 19M (Atelier Montex, Desrues, Goossens, Lemarié, Lesage, Lesage Intérieurs, Atelier Lognon, Massaro, Maison Michel, Paloma and Studio MTX). Curated by a team of five influential figures (Momoko Ando, Yoichi Nishio, Shinichiro Ogata, Kayo Tokuda, Aska Yamashita), this Parisian edition welcomes no less than ten new designers, highlighting how craftsmanship and skill enhance our view of the world.
At the opening of this exhibition, we met Bruno Pavlovsky, Hideo Suzuki, Chris Dercon, Didier Fusillier, Daisuke Igarashi and many others.
