Edo Tokyo Kirari exhibition - When French design inspires Japanese craftsmanship

Exhibition from January 21 to February 4, 2026, from 10am to 6:30pm Monday to Friday and from 2pm to 7pm on Saturday.

Since 2021, the Edo Tokyo Kirari program has been bringing together French designers and Japanese manufacturers every year to reinterpret traditional Japanese craftsmanship. This exhibition showcases the pieces resulting from this unique collaboration between the cities of Tokyo and Paris.

Designed byJules Levasseur, it showcases creations by three Parisian designers in collaboration with six Japanese manufacturers, building bridges between tradition and innovation.
These designers will also present a selection of objects designed in their own studios.

Deeply rooted in Japan's cultural and historical heritage, Tokyo's handicrafts (glassmaking, dyeing, textiles, wood) dialogue with designers from the Bureau du Design, de la Mode et des Métiers d'art network to create new forms and types of objects.
This close collaboration enables Japanese companies to innovate by mobilizing their know-how in new ways, to create objects or textile creations that appeal to the international market.

The 2025 winners are :

• Hanako Stubbe
• Studio BehagelFoiny
• Florent Coirier

They have collaborated with :

• Domyo
• Glass-Lab
• Kimoto Glass Tokyo
• Maekawa Inden
• Mori Seimenjo
• Lllast

The exhibition will feature all the pieces from the 2025 edition, as well as a selection of objects created by the designers.

As every year, the new edition of this program will also be presented at the Maison&Objet show from January 15 to 19, 2026.
