The Mobilier national, in partnership with the Cité de la céramique Sèvres & Limoges, has presented an original scenography at the Milan Design Week, entitled "Paris-Milan: il mobile mobile", showcasing the young guard of French design and expertise.
“Paris-Milan : il mobile mobile” was the invitation to travel that the Mobilier national offered this year at the heart of the 5VIE district, during the Milan Design Week.
Furniture is by its very nature mobile, and the Mobilier National is the ancestor of the Garde meuble royal, which took collections from castle to castle, the exhibition is an evocation of a time when people moved around with their furniture, tapestries and other trunks.

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 Madeleine Oltra and Angelo de Taisne (winners of the Toulon Design Parade in 2022), the exhibition has evoked the world of a “Paris-Milan” train and the timeless atmosphere of long distance trains, symbols of elegance and innovation, where mobile furniture, “mobile mobile”, sets the scene.
