It should be emphasized that the House Boucheron This year, the museum celebrates its 160th anniversary; to mark the occasion, it is organizing the event Vendôrama. Esprit Joaillerie takes a look at the too short exhibition, Vendôrama at the Monnaie de Paris.
There is no doubt that for this unprecedented ephemeral experience, the jeweler chose a symbolic and historical setting, that of the Palais des Festivals. Monnaie de Paris. Moreover, Boucheron takes care of the restoration of the future Mansart garden, in which his temporary structure was located.
Thus, this garden is all the more closely linked to Boucheron that it houses a private hotel designed by Jules Hardouin-Mansart, the architect of Place Vendôme.
Vendôrama aims to be an immersive experience in the universe Boucheron. In a timeless natural environment, discover the mastery of jewelry making.
In this spirit, three values are highlighted throughout this visit: know-how, innovation and creativity. It should not be forgotten that it was in 1858 that the Maison Boucheron It was founded. It moved to 26, Place Vendôme in 1893, being thus the first jeweler to establish itself there.
In fact, it is an emblematic place that still houses the workshop, the studio and the archives today.
Moreover, the House Boucheron It has gathered hundreds of drawings that, for some, are for the first time within the reach of visitors. These gouaches, the artist’s art, are highlighted in a sober setting, as if to leave all the space for creation.
An iconic icon conceived in 2004, the Quatre ring, caught the attention of visitors.
The Quatre collection is located behind columns of mirrors, revealing itself to the public like magic. Its strong aesthetic plays with volumes, materials and colors for a bold creation: the Clou de Paris, the Grosgrain, the mirrored edging and the double stitching.
Finally, a final look at this course, to wait for the next events Boucheron.
