On the occasion of Paris Design Week, from September 5 to 14, 2024, PHILIA and Schumacher are pleased to invite Elsa Foulon to an exceptional exhibition in which the delicacy of Schumacher textiles enhances the timeless beauty of Elsa Foulon‘s ceramics.

It is within the setting of the Schumacher showroom located at 9 Rue Jacob in the 6th arrondissement of Paris that Elsa Foulon and PHILIA – an international gallery specializing in contemporary collectible design – have chosen to immerse Schumacher in the heart of an artistic odyssey.

This exhibition project marked by elegance and poetry, will be an opportunity to present exclusive creations by the Parisian designer and ceramicist, entirely covered with Schumacher fabrics. Founded in 1889, the Schumacher House today boasts more than 15,000 references in fabrics, wallpapers, and decorative accessories and enjoys worldwide renown thanks to the quality and great diversity of its designs. Inspired by nature and Schumacher’s organic patterns, Elsa Foulon sought to echo the veins of stone and the undulations of the sea. She will present a selection of lamps, some reaching up to 1.7 meters in height, airy suspensions, as well as elegant stools.

These pieces, both bold and harmonious, promise a striking visual experience. A true dialogue between materials and forms, the magic of this exhibition lies in the encounter between refined textures, soft colors of the textiles, and the sculptural shapes of the ceramics. Carefully chosen by Elsa Foulon, the subtle shades of Schumacher fabrics “Orissa | Alabaster” and “Orissa | Blue & Natural” perfectly match the curves of the light fixtures, while the “Cloud Toile | Deft” fabric adds a touch of lightness and softness to the stool cushions.

Through this scenography, Elsa Foulon and PHILIA weave a poetic link between fabric and ceramics, creating a universe where every detail invites meditation and contemplation. This collaboration between formal elegance and sensuality offers us a beautiful escape toward a bit of serenity.
