By collaborating with artists on art editions, Galerie Loft has, for over 30 years, enabled both established and emerging artists to showcase their talents as designers. It is this collection of contemporary furniture, carefully curated by Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Roudillon, that we invite you to discover today. The exhibition brings together in one space renowned artists such as Philippe Hiquily and Francesco Marino Di Teana, whose works have a lasting mark on art history; acclaimed artist-designers such as the timeless Daniel Hourd\u00e9 and Guillaume Pi\u00e9chaud, whose signatures endure over time; the celebrated artist-illustrator Philippe Druillet with his fantastical universe; as well as talented young designers: Stefan Pichlm\u00fcller, Olivier Moravik, Different&amp;Different and La Case d&#8217;Art, whose works reflect a renewal combining boldness and precision of line.<\/p>\n<p>The opening reception for the exhibition &#8220;<strong>Contemporary Design: Invitation to Metal<\/strong>&#8221; will take place simultaneously across both gallery spaces at\u00a0<strong>3bis and 4 rue des Beaux-Arts<\/strong>, in the presence of the designers, on\u00a0<strong>Thursday, March 23, at 6 pm.<\/strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Opening reception: Thursday, March 23, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Exhibition from March 23 &#8211; May 27, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>GALERIE<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>LOFT \u2022 3 BIS &amp; 4, RUE DES BEAUX-ARTS \u2022 75006 PARIS<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"constraint-width-no-top py-8 md:py-12 lg:py-16 bg-gray-50\">\n<div class=\"w-full \"><\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To celebrate the arrival of spring, Galerie Loft is pleased to invite you to its new exhibition: &#8220;Invitation to Metal&#8221;, showcasing a unique selection of artist-designed furniture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6023,"template":"","class_list":["post-6188","exhibition","type-exhibition","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.galerieloft.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition\/6188","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.galerieloft.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.galerieloft.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/exhibition"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.galerieloft.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6023"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.galerieloft.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
