Néotù's 25-Year Legacy: The Staudenmeyer Years in Paris
An exhibition titled "Paris: Ces années-là, Les années Staudenmeyer" is set to run from December 3, 2009, to January 15, 2010, at Passage de Retz. This event honors the legacy of Pierre Staudenmeyer, the founder of the Néotù gallery, which he established in 1984 alongside Gérard Dalmon. The showcase, curated by Kristian Gavoille, includes a variety of artistic creations such as furniture, ceramics, and jewelry. Featuring renowned designs from Ettore Sottsass and lamps by Gino Sarfatti, the exhibition merges Staudenmeyer’s influence with contemporary talent like François Bauchet and the Bouroullec brothers.
