Under the direction of Serge Nicole, president of the show’s organizer Ateliers d’Art de France – the leading fine craft professional federation, and Henri Jobbé-Ducal, general commissioner of the fair, the 2015 edition of Révélations was a resounding success!

This highly impactful initiative first came to fruition in 2013 after a law was passed in 2014 recognizing Fine Craft as an economic sector and awarding craft-workers a long-overdue legal form of existence. Révélations offers Fine Craft and Material Artists a genuine place to express themselves.CovetED Revelations, Le salon des Métiers d’Art et de la Création

“Revelations was created by and for Fine Craft professionals, as well as for the ensemble of players in the sector. This is an exceptional event that has no match anywhere in the world. It is more than a commercial fair, it is a manifest that confirms the identity of Fine Crafts, their crucial role in our cultures and in the global economy of creation,” declared Serge Nicole, President.

Once again the fair’s central exhibit, Le Banquet, created a tremendous buzz. The display was composed of groupings of highly curated selections of the most symbolic contemporary Fine Craft creations from 15 countries. An ode to global design Le Banquet beautifully honored the energy and variety of Fine Craft professionals from around the world while mesmerizing its audience. Devoted to an international vibe, Révélations strives to position itself as a leader in exposing artistic creations from areas of the world that have had little to no recognition in France.
