SLOW MOTION PARIS
ALDO BAKKER COLLABORATION CARPENTERS WORKSHOP GALLERY PARIS
Urushi work by Studio Lacquer Decor
Aldo Baker's solo exhibition for Carpenters Workshop Gallery comes to Paris. It shows how Aldo materializes the eternal quest for the perfect object through objects that guise themselves as tightrope walkers, balancing between moving, standing still, and almost crashing down. By positioning his works as individual characters, Aldo forces his audience to shift its perception.
SALON INTERNATIONAL CULTURAL HERITAGE FAIR (CARROUSEL DU LOUVRE) PARIS
Paris — Salon International Cultural Heritage Fair (2016)
In 2016, my work returned to the Salon International Cultural Heritage Fair in Paris — a place where European craftsmanship, tradition, and contemporary design meet under one roof. Our presentation brought together a series of urushi finishes and custom furniture pieces, each shaped through slow layers and precise gestures.
The fair offered a quiet stage to show how traditional Japanese lacquer can move into modern form. Visitors — designers, artisans, and clients — explored the surfaces up close, discovering the depth, texture, and possibilities that urushi brings to interior and furniture design.
It was a meaningful second year in Paris, adding another chapter to the evolving path of my studio’s work.
SALON INTERNATIONAL CULTURAL HERITAGE FAIR CARROUSEL DU LOUVRE, PARIS
We are proud to have been invited to display our unique Urushi Lacquer finishes at the prestigious Salon international Culturel Heritage Fair in Paris, November 5th – November 8th.
The theme of this year’s show is Heritage and Modernity, and we are exhibiting our works as part of a small select group of artisans, ‘Made in Europe’.
France has a long and respected history of artisans and groups who serviced the Royal household, Palaces and grand Chateau and as such, there is a very rich history of specialists with a heritage of producing exquisite and artistic works.
We are privileged to be able to display our processes and finishes alongside such companies.
Our techniques are based on the century’s old Japanese art of Urushi, but with absolutely unique finishes developed in our studio by Sergej Kirilov, we have brought the art into a contemporary setting.
We hope that you will take the opportunity to visit the show and we look forward to welcoming you to our stand.
A comprehensive range of the beautiful finishes that we apply to wall panels and furniture for private residences and yacht interiors will be on display.
ISHIKAWA, JAPAN
We are delighted and very proud to announce that the jewellery box conceived and crafted by Sergej Kirilov, was awarded the Silver Prize in The Ishikawa international Urushi Exhibition and Competition. The box will be on permanent display, along with the other 75 pieces that made it through to the final selection, at Ishikawa for the duration of the Exhibition. The honour is even more special as Sergej is the only artist outside of the Far East, to feature in the top 10 awards and commendations.
