Eyes on Talents for Today, for Tomorrow

Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance

Eyes on Talents member, French designer Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance, presents a new chapter of his collaboration with Dior Maison at Salone del Mobile 2026, introducing the Corolle lamps within an immersive installation. At the crossroads of tailoring and art de vivre, these unique creations embody the emblematic spirit of Christian Dior’s New Look. The lamps reinterpret the lines of the Corolle skirt through curved forms in mouth-blown Murano glass, translating couture into objects of art de vivre. Set within a woven botanical environment, the décor evokes the gardens of Villa Les Rhumbs in Granville, a residence dear to Christian Dior. This timeless source of inspiration has been reinterpreted in a style that is both graphic and organic by the Thai artists Korakot Aromdee and Vasana Saima. "Light projections are just as significant as the material work that gives rise to them; they become a formal language in their own right, and their immateriality becomes something tangible. Through these reflections, light, in turn, becomes matter." – Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance

But, for us, some of the most energizing moments also come from ferreting out the less charted corners – the schools, emerging studios and experimental platforms that use the world's biggest design week to ask questions others might not. Here are eight presentations on our radar this year.

How to Get Fashion to Change Its Ways

For an industry that prizes novelty and reinvention, fashion has proven difficult to budge when it comes to longstanding issues around environmental and social impact. From animal welfare to renewable energy and garment worker wages, the need for change is often well documented, and the tools are there, but the motivation is lacking. So what does it take to actually move the needle?

Des sculptures dans la ville : le 1 % artistique, un dispositif en déclin qui renaît sous d’autres formes

Embellir les édifices et espaces publics grâce à des œuvres d’art, l’idée était louable. Mais le dispositif mis en place en 1951 ne fait l’objet d’aucun suivi. Ici et là, toutefois, des initiatives prennent le relais.

Our signature survey of artists living and working in the New York City area returns for its sixth edition this spring, coinciding with MoMA PS1’s 50th anniversary. Spanning all levels of MoMA PS1’s historic school building, Greater New York 2026 brings into focus over 50 multidisciplinary artists in the formative years of their careers. This highly anticipated iteration will encompass site-specific commissions, new productions, and performances, alongside important recent works that address today’s most urgent cultural concerns. Organized for the first time by MoMA PS1’s full curatorial team, the exhibition emphasizes the forces that shape daily life in the city today, as well as strategies of resistance and adaptation in the face of increased surveillance, economic precarity, and shifting technologies. Greater New York 2026 registers an optimism and anxiety generated through artists’ attention to the layered, lived textures of New York City.
