Fragility and power are placed side by side and juxtaposed as the unchanging drive to all creation. A drive symbolic of the manifeste™ project which, producing a different collection every year in a creative domain, is quietly founding a solid as well as graceful luxury avant-garde brand.

Pour l’atelier enfants du Centre Pompidou-Metz, Les M ont conçu un univers douillet et coloré, sorte de tapis géant et moelleux peuplé de « boudins » multicolores et rembourrés, tour à tour simple coussin, terrain de jeu ou cabane à bâtir.
