With International Arts & Culture Director Fabien Vallérian of Maison Ruinart, we trace how the oldest champagne house blends 300 years of heritage with contemporary art. From Ruinart's pioneering legacy, starting with Alphonse Mucha’s poster to today's Carte Blanche commissions focusing on nature, biodiversity, and climate, we explore immersive works like Julian Charrière's Chorals sound installation in UNESCO-listed chalk cellars, Sou Fujimoto's Nicolas Ruinart Pavilion bridging tradition and modernity, and global residencies with artists. As Ruinart approaches its 2029 tricentennial, Vallérian shares the plans for new sculptures, performances, and international expansions.

Jun Takahashi’s immersion in graphic design was shaped by TETZ and SKATETHING. His intuitive approach defines everything he creates, from fashion, furniture to painting. When collaborating with artists such as Cindy Sherman or Dieter Rams, his rule is very simple: he only works with those whose art he personally admires.

Our conversation traces the path guided by instinct, and we learn the line between fashion as collaboration and art as a personal journey.

With Stefano Boeri, we trace the evolution of his methodology—from the collaborative research agency Multiplicity to current vision for Laboratorio Roma050. Boeri shares the theoretical and practical foundations of his work, from fishing to Foucault and Secchi: “At the start of my career, I was a researcher. Then I worked with Multiplicity, followed by a move to communication (magazines), then politics and institutions such as Triennale di  Milano. Always acting as an architect, hoping to keep this identity strong and current.”
