For the first time ever, les Galeries Lafayette unveilled a Christmas tree made entirely from paper, a unique creation by the french artist Lorenzo Papace.
This giant tree, animated by a big wheel and cable cars, stands in the centre of Coupole, playing home to the polar bears that have come to experience a magical time in this pristine world.
This year at Les Galeries Lafayette, the displays aredesigned with exquisite paper artistry, all staged beneath the majestic art nouveau stained-glass dome. Galeries Lafayette is a winter wonderland!
Ai Weiwei Exposition, Le Bon Marché, Paris
What is the value of a beautifully crafted art piece? What is its worth if it’s made of paper? The greatest Chinese artist Ai Weiwei explored the fantasy-driven world of opulent extravagance through his handcrafted paper sculptures at Le Bon Marché.
His exposition Er Xi, which translates to “child’s play”, draws inspiration from the ancient Chinese text Shan Hai Jing (The Classic of Mountains and Seas), the legends of which have been read and retold to children for millennia.
Artist Ai Weiwei has used traditional Chinese kite-making techniques to create mythological characters and creatures for windows, atriums and the gallery at Paris department store Le Bon Marché.
