Like the artist Pierre Le-Tan who illustrated snippets of daily life on the covers of The New Yorker, Garcé & Dimofski set up the objects of the exhibition as elements emerging from an illustrated dreamscape. This scenography, which inaugurates the opening of the new Jouffre workroom, poetically approaches the idea of a figurative universe. This aesthetic game reflecting different styles and eras is the result of exceptional French savoir-faire.

In this scenographic eclecticism, the creations share a delicate sensitivity that invites the spectator to pay close attention to the details within.

The soft and voluptuous curves of this space echo a stage, celebrating the curtains as a strong element of this interior. The central space is reinforced by the presence of a carpet rendered as a watercolor, designed by  Manufacture des Tapis de Bourgogne. This one is supported by a sofa all in curves and volumes conjured up by Garcé & Dimofski specifically for this setting by honouring the savoir-faire of Jouffre Teams. Additionally, the work of contemporary designers including Ian Felton, Minjae Kim, and Garance Vallée are surrounded by surrealist objects from R & Company.

Adjacent to the showroom in the new photo booth, iconic pieces from Maison Royère are showcased - all created from the designer's personal archives and manufactured in France by the most highly skilled artisans.
