STORM POPUP • Mercredi 24 Juin

Inspiré des traditions SWANA (Sud-Ouest asiatique et Afrique du Nord), cet atelier invite les enfants à fabriquer leur propre amulette protectrice, à suspendre ou à porter en collier. Avec des chutes de tissus, des perles, des gravures, des papiers, ils y glisseront leurs messages pour repartir avec un gri-gri unique.

Talin et Théa Spring est un duo mère-fille réuni par une même sensibilité pour les matières et les histoires qu’elles racontent. Designer d’intérieur et de textile née à Istanbul, Talin puise dans la rencontre des cultures pour composer des assemblages intuitifs. Architecte et co-fondatrice du studio METISMETIS à Paris, Théa conçoit, elle, des espaces et objets nourris par le respect des savoir-faire artisanaux et l’histoire des matériaux. Théa Spring

On vous attend ce mercredi! On aura de la limonade fraiche :)

STORM IN PARIS • June 24
WHAT DOES FABRIC HOLD?
Memory, Identity, Roots & Resistance.

What are roots to you? Are they embedded in one place or do you take them with you wherever you go? Can you define them clearly?
Are we progressively losing our identity through the dilution of object and textile? Are we forgetting how strongly craft used to bind us all.

From their essential, everyday use to their role in colonialism and the rise of fast fashion, the threads we wear, weave, and pass down have always held power: the power to communicate, to control, to resist, and to preserve. Yet the stories embedded in cloth about identity, belonging, craft knowledge, and cultural survival, are clearly on the verge of disappearing.

On June 24th, we welcome Nur Kaoukji, Lebanese designer, creative director, and co-founder of ecru, for a story telling session on textiles as a living language of home, heritage, and quiet rebellion through anecdotes of her experiences as a multicultural citizen and a lover of craft. With over 20 years of work rooted in traditional craftsmanship across India and the Arab world, Nur brings personal experience to questions of what fabric says about our identity.

This June, STORM is in residence at Jihan, a concept store rooted in African and West Asian design nestled in Paris. When Mariam and Youssef reached out, it felt like a natural encounter between our projects. A space where fashion, objects and ideas coexist, where things slow down and nuance is welcome. They transformed their space into something bigger: a universe. STORM’s selection is built around their program. Voices from the SWANA world, ecologies and belonging. Restless books for a restless space, meant to be picked up and passed on. Come find us inside. 🌀
