  Park Avenue Armory, New York Stand, E6

  For The Winter Show 2024, Guillaume Léage and Carolle Thibaut-Pomerantz are teaming up for an original aesthetic and historical collaboration.

  Alongside 18^th-century furniture and objets d’art, the wallpapers sketch a fascinating history of the art of French décor, as heralds of incomparable skill and virtuosity, true testaments to the excellence of the Age of Enlightenment.

  Following the success of their Paris exhibition Chics d’intérieur, Guillaume Léage and Carolle Thibaut-Pomerantz are exporting their collaboration, period wallpapers and 18^th-century furniture, to New York for a new artistic encounter that celebrates the excellence of the French decorative arts.

  French wallpapers have played an important role in the history of architecture and interior design, and this stand highlights their dialogue with 18^th-century furniture.

  Jean-Baptiste Réveillon’s neoclassical decorations and early 19^th-century panoramics echo the creations of cabinet-makers Louis Delanois (1731−1792), Georges Jacob (1739−1814) and Claude-Charles Saunier (1735−1807), among others.

  These combinations reveal unique virtuosity and expertise, reflecting the golden age of French decorative arts.

  Grand Palais Éphémère

  For FAB Paris 2023, galerie Léage and de Gournay are teaming up for a brand new collaboration.

  Galerie Léage is no stranger to creating grand decors for its fair stands. For several years now, it has been creating interiors with an aristocratic atmosphere, using period woodwork. By teaming up with de Gournay this year, it is taking a more decorative approach, while focusing on the very essence of the excellence of 18^th-century French decorative arts: the intelligence of the hand.

  Produced in the 18^th century by master craftsmen working for the Crown or the great aristocracy, the furniture and objets d’art in the Galerie Léage are designed with unrivalled artistry. The Age of Enlightenment was the age of the decorative arts. Each piece of chiseled bronze had the ambition of a sculpture in the round, each painting on porcelain the finesse and vivacity of a painting, and each marquetry piece an incomparable vibrancy and delicacy. Enlightened connoisseurs were constantly renewing their interiors, and dealers and craftsmen were constantly inventing new shapes and techniques, seeking to create something more beautiful, more surprising and more exactly what their customers wanted.

  De Gournay’s decorss reflect the same quest for perfection that inspired 18^th-century craftsmen. As wall decorations, they are works of great finesse, made entirely by hand. Their painters and embroiderers can therefore satisfy the slightest request from their customers, and create decorations of incomparable quality. Drawing their inspiration from 18^th-century chinoiseries and 19^th-century panoramas, or choosing instead to work in a contemporary spirit, their artists create vibrantly colored and contrasting decors with an eye for detail.
