\"Homo<\/a><\/p>\n

As you know, the word of luxury conjures money and status, but the original concept of luxury has a deeper meaning. Beneath the beauty of their outward appearance, luxury products can embody the values, culture and time-honoured skills of the master artisans who create them by hand, and Europe has long been a center of excellence for luxury products!<\/p>\n

\"Homo<\/a><\/p>\n

The Discovery and Rediscovery Exhibition will showcase 20 very special artisanal techniques inspired by the list of m\u00e9tiers d\u2019art outlined by the French Institut National des M\u00e9tiers d\u2019Art (INMA). Each technique will be demonstrated by an artisan from a European luxury house whose history and ethos is closely linked to the skill on view.<\/p>\n

\"Homo<\/a><\/p>\n

Visitors will be able to interact with master artisans from each of the maisons as they work on site, making beautiful items that require skills such as crystal engraving, gem sculpting, hand weaving, Lun\u00e9ville embroidery or bookbinding.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Homo<\/a><\/p>\n

Visitors will leave with a real appreciation of the care, mastery of technique, respect for materials, passion for process and sheer man hours that go into finished products of the highest quality.<\/p>\n
