If a building becomes architecture, then it is art
Fashion manufacture Chanel 19M
Designed by Rudy Ricciotti, located between Paris and Aubervilliers, le19M has three missions: to create, to exhibit, and to exchange. 19 is for its arrondissement and for the date of Gabrielle Chanel's birthday. M stands for the words mains, mode and métier (hands, fashion and craftsmanship).
It was Karl Lagerfeld who first decided to present the first Métiers d’Art show to perpetuate and honour the expertised artisans.
Now le19M brings together eleven Maisons d’arts, their teams and archives (Goossens; Lemarié and Lognon; Lesage, l'École Lesage and Lesage Intérieurs; Maison Michel; Massaro; Montex and Studio MTX; Paloma) as well as ERES, representing some 675 craftsmen and experts.
Le19M is also home to la Galerie du 19M, a free 1200 m2 cultural space open to the public since January 2022, focusing on the values of art and craftsmanship.
A platform for exhibitions, gatherings, discoveries, and the sharing of practices, la Galerie du 19M is a multifaceted space! Designed by Studio GGSV, its interior architecture is ideally suited to its polymorphous nature: amphitheatre, stage, showroom, store, workshops – the space is incredibly versatile. There are various spaces available for rent: l’Agora, la Galerie, la Terrasse, le Studio.
Besides everything, you could enjoy some of the unique creative workshops:
