The International Heritage Fair has established itself as a genuine platform for qualified meetings between specialist exhibitors and specifiers — architects, interior designers, project owners, cultural institutions and heritage owners — seeking rare skills and tailor-made projects: lighting, woodwork, tapestries, textiles and ceramics, decorative painting, acoustic solutions, as well as roofing, openings, landscaping, lighting, ironwork, and more.
A rich and targeted offering, focused on professional concerns
With a multidisciplinary offering bringing together more than 300 exhibitors representing over 40 different professions (restoration, fine crafts, specialist suppliers, associations, schools, training centres), the fair provides a comprehensive overview of the solutions available for heritage projects.
This rich array of offerings attracts highly involved prescribers: decorators, interior designers and luxury brands covet authentic and refined expertise. The 2024 edition confirmed this trend, with a strong presence of these profiles, alongside owners of historic residences who are also on the lookout for exceptional options.
A showcase of excellence and innovation in heritage conservation
Above all, the fair is a showcase for craftsmanship excellence, where tradition and innovation come together in prestigious projects — whether private, hotel or heritage-related.
Among the achievements that illustrate this dynamic are:
- BASWA acoustic, a pioneer in high-performance seamless acoustic solutions, applied a seamless acoustic plaster on the walls of the Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection to significantly improve the room's acoustics.
- Les Céramiques du Beaujolais perpetuate the authentic manufacture of terracotta tiles, earthenware for kitchens and bathrooms, ceramic decorations, azulejos and architectural ceramics. They have worked in collaboration with the architectural studio Friedmann & Versace on projects for the Bambini restaurant, located in the heart of the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, and the Hôtel La Peyrouse in Nice.
- Édition Bougainville creates unique, bespoke haute couture carpets, combining contemporary design with traditional craftsmanship. The company has produced exceptional pieces for major hotels, including Le Meurice (Paris), Claridge's (London), Hermitage (Monaco) and Carlton (Cannes).
- Carpenter since 1957, Menuiserie Mansutti design, manufacture and restaurate wood artwork. Their achievements include the restoration of Gustave Caillebotte's house in Yerres and the refurbishment of Nathalie Obadia's modern art gallery.
These achievements demonstrate the strategic nature of the fair: a place where excellence is prescribed, it enables exceptional collaborations to be forged, promoting fine craftsmanship.
