Paris-Milan: Il Mobile Mobile, 2024

Paris-Milan: Il mobile mobile is the invitation to travel that the Mobilier National was offering at the heart of the Cinque Vie district in 2024, during the Milano Design Week. Because furniture is by its very nature mobile, and because the Mobilier National is the ancestor of the Garde Meuble Royal, which took furniture across French regions and Europe, the exhibition is an evocation of a time when the royal court moved around with their furniture, tapestries and trunks, creating new ways of adapting materials and their use to traveling.

For this event, the Mobilier National has brought together pieces by top designers and craftsmen to showcase contemporary French design and expertise. In a scenography designed by VOTO XO, Madeleine Oltra and Angelo de Taisne, winners of the Toulon Design Parade in 2022, the exhibition evokes the intimate scenes of a “Paris-Milan” night train interior and the timeless atmosphere of long distance trains, symbol of elegance and innovation, where mobile furniture, “mobile mobile”, sets the scene.
