Life, Published on 25/04/2025
» The elegance of Celine's heritage infused with the unique spirit of Japanese aesthetics is presented during the "Celine Maki-e Exhibition", which is running in the France Pavilion at the Osaka-Kansai World Expo 2025 in Japan, until May 11. Maki-e is a traditional Japanese lacquerware technique where gold and silver powders are delicately applied to lacquered surfaces. The exhibition features reinterpretations of the brand's iconic Triomphe logo, engaging with elements from Japan's illustrious history and vibrant modernity, in a cultural exchange between Japanese artists and the house's emblem. It is home to several art pieces and video installations, highlighting Japanese Urushi art pieces from Hikoju Makie, alongside Celine's exclusive bags. A theatrical and immersive set-up brings life to a collaborative video work between Japanese artist Soshi Nakamura and Celine, displayed in an embracing and futuristic manner by an LED screen wall facing multiple mirrors.
