PressreleaseJuly10th2012 Musée d’Art moderne de la Ville de Paris GENERATION DESIGN ELLE Décoration September 11-30, 2012 Private press viewing: Monday September 10th, 2012. 5:00 – 7:00 pm In order to celebrate its 25th anniversary, the magazine ELLE Décoration is organizing an exhibition dedicated to design at the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris. Approximately thirty international young designers will expose their pieces of work in the famous Dufy and Matisse Galleries. They will share the space of major pieces of art work such as Raoul Dufy’s La Fée El ectricité, Henri Matisse’s two monumental Dance triptychs, and a collection of Daniel Buren’s canvases. ELLE Décoration has e ntrusted Gérard Laizé, ge neral director of the nonprofit association VIA (Val orization of Innovation in Furnishing), to be the exhibition curator. The EL LE Décoration team ha s designed the exhibition with the precious help of Dominique Gagneux, curator of the museum who is also in charge of the decorative arts collection. The display perfectly captures the current international creative spirit in the way the pie ces are functional, aesthetic, easy to move and m odulate, and eco-friendly. It represents the formal expression of this ne w generation and one answer to the essenti al question, which Gérard Laizé summarizes as follows: “How to produce better instead of producing more?” According to Sylvie de Chirée, editor in chief of ELLE Déco ration, “this exhibition is the opportunity to expr ess our brand’s philosophy, since its creation, of finding tomorrow’s successful designers and helping young th talents. Our 25 anniversary is the chance to demonstrate our credo!” The exhibition will take place during the second edition of Paris Design Week, during which the city lives for design. The Musée d’Art Moderne will have the opportunity to highlight the dynamism of the youn g international creations. On the “Journées du Patrimoine” (the 15th and 16th of September), visitors will be greet ed free of charge by dedi cated lecturers, available to explain each piece of work.

What makes Ikea’s support special is a common philosophy to put design within everyone’s reach. This concept can be summarized as: producing better with the right price, making easy to use objects without compromising their style, and finding how to be an eco-friendly producer. These ideas make Ikea successful in 41 countries and allow the brand to meet each generation’s needs. collection Michael Werner October 5th 2012 – March 3 rd 2013 L’Art en guerre France 1938-1947 De Picasso à Dubuffet October 12th 2012 – February17th 2013 Rejoignez le MAM /
