Les Arts Décoratifs
107, Rue de Rivoli
75001 Paris
France

Taking a selection of emblematic objects in the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Mutations asked craft and design collectives to reuse a range of techniques and materials to create a specific object. The eight contemporary pieces resulting from this project are displayed next to the historic objects that inspired them, illustrating the evolution in the artistic crafts.

Organised by the Institut National des Métiers d’Art (INMA) in partnership with the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Mutations was conceived as a manifesto highlighting the respective histories of these two institutions and the artistic crafts.
