Fondation CAB Saint-Paul de Vence’s latest exhibition is dedicated to Jean Prouvé.

The exhibition “Jean Prouvé: Inventor of Houses” at Fondation CAB Saint-Paul-de-Vence, co-presented by Laffanour | Galerie Downtown, will bring together a significant selection of works by the influential 20th-century architect and designer. Set within the French property’s 1950s modernist building, renovated by Charles Zana in 2021, the show explores Prouvé’s ability to unite function and form across architecture and furniture, highlighting projects such as his prefabricated “Coque” and “Métropole” houses in Meudon. Alongside architectural elements, the exhibition features the Cité bed, Compas table, Standard chair, Antony armchair, and Marcoule bench.

Formafantasma designed the Dioramas of Everyday Life set for Marni.

The set design for Marni’s Fall/Winter 2026 runway show, titled “Dioramas of Everyday Life,” was created by Formafantasma in collaboration with creative director Meryll Rogge. The installation centered on an architectural environment featuring mirrored surfaces hand-painted with fragments of everyday scenes—a car door, office chair, leftovers on a table—while the runway floor was conceived as a doormat.

Lauren Halsey will soon open a sculpture park and community space in L.A.

Artist Lauren Halsey will open “Sister Dreamer,” a major installation in South Central Los Angeles that merges sculpture and architecture while paying tribute to the neighborhood where she and her family have lived for generations. Conceived as an ode to the community’s “surge ‘n’ splurge”—its maximalism, density, and visual abundance—the project features a dramatic entrance along Western Avenue, leading visitors past eight sphinxes and Hathoric columns carved with portraits of family members, friends, and cultural heroes.

On Rue Saint-Honoré, Loewe has opened its second Casa Loewe in Paris.

A second Casa Loewe has opened in Paris, spanning two floors on Rue Saint-Honoré. Conceived as a platform for art and design, the space incorporates artworks drawn from the Loewe art collection, including pieces by Mary Stephenson, Jordan Belson, Ian Felice, and Paul Thek, alongside 17th-century Dutch and Anglo-Flemish portraiture. The interior design foregrounds tactile materials—including concrete, hand-glazed ceramics, brass, and marble—with features such as custom ceramic walls in silver, aubergine, and green, large windows bringing in natural light, and a sculptural staircase with a transparent glass lift connecting the levels.
