The JEMA (Journées Européennes des Métiers d’Art), returning to Paris from April 7 to 12, 2026, are a major event dedicated to artistic crafts. The concept is straightforward: open workshop doors, showcase often lesser-known skills, and demonstrate how these crafts remain vibrant, relevant, and useful today. This spirit is embodied in the exhibition, designed as a concept store where home, fashion, arts and the second life of objects come together in dialogue.

In the lifestyle world, visitors can explore creations related to glass, ceramics, cutlery, woodworking, bookbinding, and even artisan printing. On the fashion front, the exhibition showcases craftsmanship in areas like leatherworking, hat making, shoe craftsmanship, eyewear, and jewelry. Finally, the 'second life' section emphasizes that objects can also be repaired, restored, or transformed, thanks to professions such as goldsmithing, shoe repair, watchmaking, upholstery tapestry, and upholstery.

With "30 Faubourg," Paris tells a very contemporary story: that of an artisanal craft capable of blending modern creativity, responsible consumption, and tradition. It’s a wonderful reminder that behind everyday objects, there are still skilled hands, workshops, and know-how alive and well.
