14 Boulevard de L'Hôpital

Inspired by Nicole Chapo’s original 1960s gallery at 14 Boulevard de l’Hôpital in Paris, this exhibition reimagines the cozy, welcoming atmosphere that made the space so iconic during the 1960s and 1970s. A place where timeless design and modern luxury come together, 14 Boulevard de l’Hopital recreates the essence of that intimate showroom, where legendary figures like Pierre Chapo, Charlotte Perriand, Serge Mouille, Isamu Noguchi, and the La Borne ceramicists left their indelible mark on the world of art and design.

It was here that Pierre Chapo’s raw, elemental woodwork met the refined industrial sensibility of Charlotte Perriand. Serge Mouille’s sinuous lighting, Isamu Noguchi’s sculptural presence, and the organic expression of the La Borne ceramicists all found a home within these walls. More than just a showroom, the space functioned as a sanctuary for material exploration and thoughtful living—a counterpoint to the grand narratives of modernism unfolding elsewhere in Paris.

Revisiting this space with Magen H Gallery, we sought not to recreate the past, but to enter into dialogue with it. Our textile works—rooted in craftsmanship, restraint, and a reverence for material—feel at home here. Just as Chapo’s gallery welcomed the tactile and the timeless, our works speak in quiet tones, offering depth without decoration and complexity through simplicity.
