NEW IN 2025 : MEET IN FRONT OF THE WALL OF INSPIRATION
This year, the Créations & savoir-faire show has unveiled a new immersive experience: The Wall of Inspiration
(Re)immerse yourself in a world where craftsmanship becomes poetry, where every creative gesture sublimates everyday life. The Wall of Inspiration has invited you to discover 4 immersive, Instagrammable spaces, designed like dream bubbles at the heart of the Créations & savoir-faire show.
A genuine introduction to the "Poetry of the Everyday" Textile Art Exhibition to be discovered at the show, this year's Wall of Inspiration celebrates the art of transforming simple gestures and familiar objects into sources of wonder.
The artists on show share their sensitive view of what surrounds us: nature, memories, materials, colours... all elements that fuel our creativity day after day.
What did the Wall of Inspiration have in store for you?
The Wall of Inspiration is transformed into a mosaic of poetic stories, where each creation becomes an artistic breath of fresh air:
- Paper compositions, playing on textures and transparencies with Sophie Truant.
- Authentic and unique objects, celebrating the handmade gesture with Balaiterie.
- Ludovic Brosse, Sylvie Breton and Magic Pulp create yarns inspired by everyday life but enhanced by poetry.
- Olivia López and Needlebox invite you on a journey through the arts of thread, where light, relief and materials come together in a dialogue.
Each fragment of the wall tells a story, a suspended moment, an invitation to contemplate the poetry in the details of everyday life.
(Re)discover the artists
Four poetic worlds have brought the Wall of Inspiration to life:
What flowers know with Sophie Truant
Immerse yourself in a vibrant tribute to the secret language of flowers. This work combines nature, gentleness and symbolism to reveal the fragile beauty of the plant world. Between revisited herbariums, dried compositions and delicate textures, each flower seems to whisper a poem in the visitor's ear.
The world of Sophie Truant Illustrations
"When I was little, I used to go round the garden with my father, who would name each flower for me. This ritual instilled in me a love of plants and of the Swiss folklore that nurtured my childhood. Now a trained illustrator at the Beaux-Arts in Paris, I combine gouache, embroidery and paper cut-outs to create a colourful, poetic world inspired by nature and legends. I like to reveal the poetry of the everyday by imagining worlds of goddesses and hybrid beings, where proportions disappear. Usually cut by hand, this time my papers were cut in Japan by Takagi Co. LTD, thanks to Marion Breton, who introduced me to Kumi, the ambassador of Japanese craftsmen, in Paris. This showcase becomes a dialogue between know-how and imagination, a bridge between tradition and creation".
La Balaiterie
When an everyday object becomes the stuff of dreams.
This installation transforms the broom, a humble domestic tool, into a work of art, a symbol of care, of the repeated gesture, of the link between utility and beauty.
A tribute to the poetry of the simple, the nobility of manual work and the grace of natural materials.
TEXTIPULP : Giant Paper Mesh with Magic Pulp, Ludovic Brosse and Sylvie Breton
Magic Pulp is a creative laboratory where paper is transformed into a poetic and sculptural material. Ludovic Brosse handles each fibre with sensitivity, exploring textures, lightness and the play of light. Between delicate craftsmanship and responsible innovation, each creation reveals the tactile and emotional potential of paper, giving rise to unique volumes and objects on the borderline between design and poetry.
In TEXTIPULP, the giant mesh of supple white paper becomes breath and light. Ludovic Brosse models the fragility of paper, while Sylvie Breton infuses it with her colourful hooks. Together, they reveal the magic of the everyday: when a humble fibre is metamorphosed into a sensitive space, between poetry, craft and sustainable vision. This showcase celebrates the alliance of two complementary worlds, united by the same quest for beauty, materials and meaning.
Travel with Needlebox and Olivia López
Immerse yourself in the poetic and colourful world of tufting and punchneedle. These two textile techniques are as playful as they are creative, transforming wool into decorative objects and everyday accessories. A textile atlas where each thread traces a longitude.
