SAVE THE DATE – EXHIBITION Unravel, Reweave

Galerie Amélie du Chalard x ALEOR Design are pleased to invite you to the opening of Unravel, Reweave on Thursday, 8 January

Unravel, Reweave is a cross-disciplinary exhibition where art, design and living materials come together in dialogue. Celebrating the poetry of gesture and the expressive power of matter, the exhibition weaves together forms, textiles and narratives to create a living and sensory space. It proposes art and design as acts of resilience, tools to rethink, repair, and reweave our relationship with the world.

From 8 to 18 January 

Open days
Saturday, 10 January  | 10:00 am–6:00 pm
Saturday, 17 January  | 10:00 am–6:00 pm

Hosted within the spaces of Galerie Amélie du Chalard, Unravel, Reweave creates a dialogue between visual art and living design. Galerie Amélie du Chalard presents works by Pola Carmen and Mirko Baricchi, while ALEOR Design brings together a group of designers and artists exploring materiality, production processes and interwoven relationships:

Aléa — Miriam Josi & Stella Lee Prowse, Théophile de Bascher, Jessica Boubetra & Jean-Baptiste Lenglet, Rosana Escobar, Max Funkat, Marie-Ange Guilleminot, Marlène Huissoud, Juliette Rougier, Diana Scherer, Tony Jouanneau — Atelier Sumbiosis, Catalina Swinburn

Pola Carmen presents Les Possibles, a series in which line becomes form and gesture unfolds as a vital force. Through dense yet fragile interlacings of oil pastel, her works construct evolving territories where repetition, time and the persistence of life become visible within the weave of the canvas.

Mirko Baricchi, an Italian painter, explores the dynamics of living systems at the intersection of abstraction and figuration. Built through successive layers of pigment, erasure and spontaneous gesture, his paintings resemble stratified landscapes shaped by time and transformation. These artistic approaches resonate strongly with the practices of ALEOR’s designers, for whom fragility becomes a creative resource and weaving a means of connection. Here, weaving is understood as an act of repair and recomposition, linking materials, beings, and landscapes across fractures and tensions. Among them, Théophile de Bascher works with wood from the Sonian Forest, sculpting tables that reveal the emotional memory and natural irregularities of the material. Tony Jouanneau, designer and researcher, combines exceptional textile craftsmanship, such as pleated silk organza, with ancestral Japanese techniques and natural indigo dyes. Diana Scherer highlights the intelligence of plant roots, capable of weaving complex, invisible networks that connect all forms of life. Rosana Escobar works with agave and Páramo fiber (Calamagrostis effusa), respecting their regeneration cycles and sacred qualities, transforming plants into living totems rooted in the rural landscapes of Colombia. Marlène Huissoud reveals the collective intelligence of bees and the invisible interactions that sustain ecosystems. Max Funkat explores memory and intergenerational bonds by giving material form to remembrance. Catalina Swinburn invites a poetic and spiritual reflection on the human condition, transformation and cyclical time, weaving connections between cultures and gestures.

Unravel, Reweave invites contemplation and attentiveness to the sensory, positioning art and design as spaces of care, resilience and renewal. The exhibition unfolds as a living environment where materials, stories, and beings intertwine, offering both refuge and a powerful metaphor for reweaving the world with intention, poetry and depth.
