With the support of the Beaux-Arts de Paris, Chaumet invites you to discover Végétal – L’École de la beauté. Crossing visions, periods and media, this original exhibition invites you to look at nature through the universal prism of art and beauty.

Initiating the project, Chaumet drew on its vast heritage, one of the most important in the history of jewellery in Europe, to make its botanical vision resonate with all the artistic forms that have also looked at plants.

Curator of the exhibition, the botanist Marc Jeanson has imagined Végétal as a herbarium, composed from the species present in Chaumet creations.

Nearly 400 works offer the public a free stroll through 5,000 years of art and science, told through a dialogue between paintings, sculptures, textiles, photographs, furniture and 80 jewellery objects from Chaumet and other houses.

As part of the French Touch event, Galeries Lafayette has given French artistic duo Gaëlle Gabillet and Stéphane Villard from Studio GGSV carte blanche inside the Parisian department store. Inside the historic monument, an icon of the Art Nouveau period, they juxtapose and pay homage to contemporary creativity.

Inspired by the history and architecture of the building, Studio GGSV is taking over 3 of Galeries Lafayette Paris Haussmann’s iconic spaces, initiating a unique conversation between its own aesthetics and those of the department store.
