The Stars Align In This Interactive Art Installation In Paris
Offering an avant-garde experience and new interactions with objects and furniture, the installation “Cosmos and Matter” forces us to take another look at the different facets of our interiors in a splendid Haussmann apartment in the heart of Paris. Born out of the Sustainable Design Association, founded in 2021 by Hélène Aguilar, and co-curated with entrepreneur Marie-Cassandre Bultheel, the project aims to promote virtuous practices in the design world. “We want to introduce a new art de vivre that takes care of the future while being deeply imbued with ancestral knowledge and wisdom,” says Bultheel.
Filled with pieces created by innovative designers, artisans and artists who use natural materials with low environmental impact, the 2,690-square-foot ephemeral installation can be experienced barefoot. Visitors explore a variety of sensations in a sensory journey that leads to 10 scenes in different rooms: the Botanic Bar, Table of the Living, Moon Lounge, Sun Lounge and Cosmic Soundscape room. “This place is more than a showroom or a gallery,” says Bultheel. “Here, a new aesthetic of luxury is expressed through reconnection, sustainability and harmony.”
Although this first iteration is on view in the French capital until Feb. 16, 2025, the ambition of “Cosmos and Matter” goes far beyond. Bultheel and Aguilar aim to bring the exhibition—in different forms—to other cities and countries in the next months.
