Feira de design Matter and Shape abre terceira edição em Paris

A feira de design Matter and Shape regressou ao Jardin des Tuileries para a sua terceira edição durante a Paris Fashion Week. Curada para unir moda e design, o evento apresenta mais de 70 expositores com cerâmicas, joias, mobiliário e muito mais. Decorre de sexta-feira a segunda-feira, 9 de março, atraindo uma mistura de criativos e formadores de tendências.

Matter and Shape, uma feira de design curada, abriu na sexta-feira no Jardin des Tuileries em Paris, coincidindo com a Paris Fashion Week. Agora no seu terceiro ano, o evento expandiu-se significativamente, crescendo de 30 expositores na estreia para mais de 70 desta vez. O tema de 2026, intitulado “Scale”, inspira-se no livro de 1995 de Rem Koolhaas e Bruce Mau S, M, L, XL. Organized as more of a salon than a traditional trade show, the fair aims to introduce design to fashion audiences. Attendees include stylists, hoteliers, shop owners, restaurateurs, students, creative directors, magazine editors, museum curators, artists, and gallerists. Notable visitors spotted include Interview editor-in-chief Mel Ottenberg and photographer Wolfgang Tillmans, who browsed textiles, tableware, lighting, scents, ceramics, and furniture from independent designers, architects, heritage brands, family-run companies, and galleries. Dan Thawley, o escritor, editor e consultor criativo australiano baseado em Paris que dirige a feira, enfatizou a sobreposição entre moda e design. “Acho que os grandes diretores criativos na moda sempre foram curadores”, disse Thawley. Ele observou que as casas dos designers refletem as suas inspirações através de livros, mobiliário e objetos, e que as conexões entre arte, moda e design são agora mais visíveis. A feira inclui espaços contemplativos: uma sala de leitura em parceria com a Villa Hegra, um café pelo spot parisiense Dreamin’ Man em colaboração com a Zara Home, e um restaurante efémero pelo estúdio culinário Balbosté. Thawley descreveu-o como “um passeio curado pelas páginas de uma revista”, celebrando descobertas no design em meio à acessibilidade digital. “Vivemos numa era em que pensamos que tudo é acessível e conhecido através da internet em segundos”, acrescentou ele, “mas a realidade é que ainda há tantas brechas e portas trampa escondidas de coisas bonitas a serem descobertas.” Destaques incluem os candeeiros Andromeda e appliques de Lindsey Adelman em aço, mármore e quartzo para o 20.º aniversário do estúdio; uma instalação Lobmeyr por Luca Guadagnino com peças de Guglielmo Ulrich; a exposição “Chance Encounters” da Georg Jensen de joias de arquivo por artistas femininas como Kim Naver e Nanna Ditzel; homewares da Ann Demeulemeester com a Serax, incluindo carafas e um candeeiro de parede; a reedição pela Petite Friture da coleção Sandows de René Herbst de 1927; e a exibição da Fondation Arp-Taeuber de obras de Sophie Taeuber-Arp com interpretações contemporâneas por artesãos como Sophie Toporkoff e Christopher Farr.
