TILL WE DROP BY JEAN-PAUL LESPAGNARD AT GALERIES LAFAYETTE – TEXT BY PHILIPPE POURHASHEMI PHOTOS BY THIBAUT VOISIN

Dear Shaded Viewers,

With his contagious energy, playful use of references and optimistic approach, Jean-Paul Lespagnard has become one of Belgium's most popular and talked-about designers. He is currently honored by Galeries Lafayette in Paris, who have decided to offer him its Galerie des Galeries space for an exclusive exhibition, as well as several windows, giving an insight into his world and unique creative process. Humility, humor and individuality are some of the buzzwords defining Lespagnard, who stands for a new generation of Belgian designers veering away from the abstract and the conceptual in order to privilege a generous and more pragmatic vision. You have until the 5th of April to check out his exciting installation and gorgeous windows.

Best,

Philippe
