Panoramas
Since its arrival in 2019, the École Camondo has taken over the space of the Monique boutique during the Toulon Design Parade, generously made available by the City of Toulon, to explore the power of colour, an essential parameter in defining interior spaces. The installation is part of a course on colour given by designer Lili Gayman to first-year students. The course aims to give students a real understanding of colour, and culminates in a “scale 1” workshop in Monique Boutique’s space.
For this year’s show, Panoramas evokes the poetry of a Mediterranean landscape in motion, between sun and Mistral wind, followed by the Sacred Collection of 16 Camondo alumni friends, 16 post-graduate productions that mark the beginning of an optimistic, inspired and supportive professional life.

Sacrée collection
16 friends, 16 alumni, 16 young designers and interior architects looking at the notion of the sacred and highlighting its many facets, whether spiritual, cultural or secular. Considering a space or an object as sacred reveals a duality: human creations transport us elsewhere, taking us away from the real, tangible world while rekindling our link with its origins.
By following this guideline, languages are expressed, personalities are revealed and a collective exhibition takes shape in the unique setting of the Chalucet chapel, in the heart of the Jardin Alexandre 1er in Toulon. A sacred place by excellence, the chapel, now desanctified, represents a place of transition between the spiritual and the profane, offering fertile ground for creation. This exhibition is an opportunity to create a dialogue between past and present, between the material and the spiritual.
What is sacred? What properties of a space or an object give them this status? 16 different approaches and objects invite us to explore the many meanings and manifestations of the sacred in our modern world.
