(MENAFN- Gulf Times) HE Chairperson of Qatar Museums Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad al-Thani inaugurated the exhibition Chaumet & Nature: Nature-Inspired Jewellery Since 1780 at M7, Qatar's innovation hub for fashion, design, and technology.
The opening ceremony was attended by CEO Chaumet Charles Leung along with a group of artists and other guests.
Chaumet & Nature is presented as part of the Fall/Winter 2024-2025 Season of Qatar Creates - a platform dedicated to amplifying the voices of Qatar's creative industries and promoting cultural activities within the country.
Organized by Qatar Museums, M7, and Qatar Creates in partnership with Maison Chaumet, the exhibition explores the interplay between nature and fine jewellery, tracing Chaumet's botanical inspirations from 1780 to today.
Showcasing Maison Chaumet's remarkable heritage, the exhibition highlights Chaumet's unique designs that celebrate the vitality of the natural world. This includes almost 107 jewellery pieces and 111 visual artworks, offering visitors an evocative journey into 240 years of naturalistic design.
The exhibition marks a new phase in the collaboration between M7 and Maison Chaumet that began in March 2024, when they partnered to select local graphic designer Zainab AlShibani to create Chaumet's new Arabic logo, now featured in all the brands flagship stores across the Middle East. The exhibition is a legacy project of the Qatar-France 2020 Year of Culture, a year-long programme of collaborations between institutions across both countries.
This partnership continues with Chaumet & Nature, with showcased pieces in the exhibition, such as the poem "Treasures of the Earth" by Salman Bin Khalid and an exclusive work by artist Shouq al-Mana inspired by underwater motifs, including references to Qatar's long history of pearl diving. With features such as these, the collaboration exemplifies M7's mission of advancing Qatar's creative economy and cultivating local talent.
