Lihuai Qian – Revelations China, bamboo weaving (China)

Born into a family of bamboo weaving artisans, Lihuai Qian grew up deeply influenced by the craft. After graduating and having studied under Hu Zhengren, a master of arts and crafts from Zhejiang Province, he decided to revive this traditional art, both familiar and in need of innovation. His goal is to establish a systematic foundation for bamboo weaving and incorporate artistic creativity to breathe new life into the ancient craft.

He has collaborated with prestigious brands and his bamboo weaving art has been showcased at international exhibitions such as the Venice Biennale, Tokyo Gallery, Singapore Contemporary Gallery, and the Budapest Art Fair, with solo exhibitions held in Shanghai and Qingdao.

Capucine H design, jeweller and designer (France)

Capucine Huguet shapes recycled gold and silver with the precision of a goldsmith, creating jewellery with organic textures inspired by underwater reliefs. Each piece is an exploration, a subtle balance between jewellery tradition and craft innovation, where the artist's hand leaves its mark to magnify the material.

She draws her inspiration from the splendors of the world. By working hand in hand with scientists, she seeks to highlight the climate challenges. Each piece of jewelry is conceived by the designer as an invitation to dialogue about the need to preserve our planet. The jeweler thus creates her first collection, Wahlenbergbreen mementos, inspired by a journey to the Arctic that she studied alongside scientists. Dedicated to melting ice, this collection fully embodies the environmental values of the young woman and her desire to open a discussion about climate urgency.

Yanis Miltgen, art embroiderer (France)

Winner of the Prix de la Jeune Création 2024 awarded by Ateliers d'Art de France, Yanis Miltgen pushes the boundaries of embroidery by exploring it as a sculptural art form. Inspired by nature, literature and architecture, he explores materials and volumes, incorporating unexpected elements such as metal into his work.

After a number of prestigious collaborations - including embroidered sculptures for the Hôtel Le Meurice during the Paris Olympic Games - at Révélations 2025 he will be unveiling his monumental project L'Arbre de la Vie, the fruit of an artistic production grant.

Rita Soto Ventura, jewellery maker (Chile)

Chilean designer and artist with an outstanding career in contemporary jewelry, Rita Soto Ventura is recognized for her innovative work with the traditional technique of horsehair microbasketry. Since 2002, she has explored this ancestral craft, learning within her family environment and reinterpreting the technique to create new and expressive forms. Her work combines the delicacy of horsehair with contemporary designs, producing pieces of great sensitivity and cultural relevance, redefining this material rooted in traditional Chilean craftsmanship. In 2012, she founded an educational space dedicated to jewelry training, contributing to the professional development of new creators in Chile.

Her research and experimentation have exalted the craft of horsehair microbasketry, integrating this technique into artistic jewelry and consolidating it as a contemporary artistic language, preserving and transforming Chilean cultural heritage.

Riccardo Gatti, marble sculptor (Italy)

This year, Italy takes centre stage at the Révélations Biennial, and with it some exceptional craftsmen who shape materials with boldness and sensitivity. Among them is Riccardo Gatti, a stone sculptor whose work combines monumentality and poetry.
A graduate of the Accademia di Belle Arti in Venice, he has made a name for himself on the international scene with his marble sculptures and installations that transcend the material. Working with renowned companies such as Bevilacqua Marmo and Lithos Design, he creates bespoke projects and monumental works, such as the reproduction of the Colonna del Bajamonte for the Correr Museum in Venice.
‘I don't want to imitate, but to be nature creating new forms’. It is with this philosophy that Riccardo Gatti brings stone to life, exploring its expressive potential with an instinctive and visionary approach.

Sophie Autard, jewellery artist and engraver (France)

Winner of the Prix de la Jeune Création 2025 awarded by Ateliers d'Art de France, Sophie Autard creates pieces structured around jewellery and its setting. After a decade of training in jewellery making and engraving, while working as an ortho-prosthetist, Sophie Autard set up her workshop in Sète to devote herself entirely to creation. She uses a wide range of movements and mechanisms, as well as multiple materials and textures, so that the case becomes active under the creator's fingers to reveal the piece.

She uses the ancestral techniques of jewellery-making and ornamental engraving in innovative, minimalist and playful ways, blending them with new technologies.

Thalia Dalecky, ceramist (France)

Immerse yourself in the sensitive, carnal world of Paris-based ceramist Thalia Dalecky. Her clay sculptures, often designed to be useful - lights, mirrors, stools or tables - explore the shapes of the body, faces stretched out to the point of abstraction, and above all the hands, her creative tools, to which she pays a recurring tribute. Worked like living flesh, clay becomes under her fingers a territory of emotions, textures and experimentation. Between the sensuality of the gesture and the quest for functionality, her work blends arts and crafts with the poetry of everyday life.

Thalia Dalecky will be presenting monumental pieces during the biennial on the Caroline Andréoni - La Maison stand at the Révélations biennial.


Natalia Rios, textile designer and creator (Brazil)

As part of the Brazil-France 2025 Season, Natalia Rios, an art embroiderer who grew up between sewing machines and threads in her family's workshop in Brazil, will be exhibiting at Révélations. From an early age, she developed a passion for textile art, building her way, stitch by stitch, in a natural and original way. Trained at the École Lesage in Paris, she fuses traditional embroidery with contemporary creativity. Since 2015, she has been coordinating her embroidery workshop & school in São Paulo, Brazil, where she creates artwork, hand creations for fashion, decoration and visual arts, and offers several courses to over 300 students.

L'Atelier Reverdie, leather working (France)

Between tradition and innovation, the Atelier Reverdie sublimates leather through made-to-measure creations. Pierre Roux and his team reinvent leather goods with a multidisciplinary approach, creating exceptional objects and furniture using rare know-how such as leather marquetry. The workshop offers its tailor-made services from single pieces to series for design, fashion and hospitality.

Thanks to its in-depth mastery of materials - from bovine leather to marine leather, not to mention a host of new textures - this showcase tells the story of an expertise that is constantly being reinvented. It's an ode to the renewal of arts and crafts, in keeping with the workshop's DNA.

KHJ Studio, paper creator (South Korea)

Hyun Joo Kim works with Hanji (traditional Korean mulberry paper) to create 3D paper reliefs, mulberry fibre sculptures and paper craft objects. She learned how to make this material in the town of JeonJu - a place famous for its manufacture in South Korea - and developed her own technique. Her series of paper sculptures grew out of experimentation, with the creation of three-dimensional sculptural objects working solely with Dak - mulberry fibre - the basic material of Hanji, without using any other materials. Her aim is to develop new textures and surfaces, and perhaps a new aesthetic sensibility. The designer has collaborated with many international brands, including Hermès, Polène and Calvin Klein. Her work has been collected by Hermès, the Leeum Samsung Art Museum, the Falling Water Museum, Three Waterline Square, Lexus and private collectors.

Dita Cossio, ceramist (Chile)

While Dita Cossio is a ceramist, most of her work is done on a sewing machine, a craft that has been in her family for generations. After experimenting with different techniques and materials, she developed a unique method based on textile constructions: she sews simple lines and parametric patterns onto a padded leather textile, which is then used as a casting mould for her porcelain pieces. The mould is carefully dismantled to reveal the finished, unique piece. Each creation is an exercise in form, volume and physical tension.
