During Paris Design Week, Charlotte Biltgen opens the doors of her showroom for the second edition of Curated Room—an intimate encounter between contemporary ceramics, collectible design and exceptional craftsmanship.

Paris Design Week · 10–19 September 2026

Objects rarely reveal their full character in isolation. Their presence changes in relation to a room: against a material, beside a piece of furniture, within a particular volume or simply through the way they are used.

It is this idea that sits at the heart of Curated Room, returning for its second edition during Paris Design Week.

Imagined by Anne-Sophie Latil and co-curated with interior designer Charlotte Biltgen, the exhibition is dedicated to contemporary ceramics. For the occasion, Biltgen opens her showroom and brings together ceramic works with pieces from her own limited-edition furniture collections, creating an environment in which art, design and the interior become inseparable.

A Dialogue Between Object and Space

Following a first edition presented in September 2025 in the studio of artist Daniela Busarello, Curated Room continues its exploration of the relationship between contemporary design and fine craftsmanship.

At its foundation is a conviction shared by Latil and Biltgen: objects never exist in isolation. They reveal themselves through their relationship with space, materials, volumes and uses.

Rather than presenting ceramics against the neutrality of a conventional exhibition space, the works are placed within a lived-in setting. Here, they enter into conversation with Biltgen’s tables, seating and lighting pieces, allowing unexpected correspondences of form, texture and material to emerge.

Works by around ten ceramic artists are presented, including Maxence de Bagneux, Nadège Mouyssinat, Clément Brazille, Hélène Morbu and Cécile Lisbonis.

Each piece becomes part of a larger composition. Ceramics and furniture are not treated as separate disciplines but as elements capable of transforming one another through proximity.

Beyond the Object

The resulting formal and aesthetic dialogues suggest multiple ways of bringing an interior to life.

Beauty resides not only within an individual object, but in the relationships created around it: the tension between volumes, the meeting of materials, the rhythm of furniture and artworks within a room.

Curated Room shifts the focus from simply looking at an object to imagining how it might be lived with.

That approach gives the exhibition its intimate character. Instead of separating collectible pieces from everyday space, it places them directly within it, allowing craftsmanship and contemporary design to become part of the experience of an interior.

A Culture of Craftsmanship

Created by Anne-Sophie Latil and Marie Thomazo, Curated Room is conceived as a gathering for collectors, interior designers and decorators.

Together, they shine a light on a generation of creatives united by exacting standards: a commitment to craftsmanship, slow-making processes and exceptional fabrication.

Those principles connect the different forms of expression presented throughout the exhibition. Ceramics, furniture, seating and lighting become part of the same vocabulary—not because they are identical, but because they share an attention to how things are conceived and made.

At a moment when collectors are showing growing interest in the intersection of art and design, Curated Room proposes a more sensitive way of encountering the contemporary object.

Immersive yet intimate, it asks us to look beyond the object alone and consider the relationships that give it meaning: space, material, volume, use—and the other objects with which we choose to live.
