Discover the 1.618 first sustainable luxury fair

La bulle will go and tell you about the fair 1.618 Paris which is an alternative experience half path between a cultural experiment and a professional fairtrade.

An enigmatic name: 1.618 = Phi = golden number, resulting from a mathematical calculation which defines the divine proportion, adjustable wrench harmony, resulting from nature serving esthetism.

A definition in symbiosis with the positioning of the fairtrade. 1.618 Paris is a new transverse event supported by the Ministry for the Culture and the WWF. Opened to the Public, it presents the best products and services which combine Luxe and Sustainable development in an innovative and contemporary setting perfectly fitting the athmospher of the Palais de Tokyo in Paris.
That's why we are interested in this Luxury of today which is before any ethics, immaterial essence and esthetics. Anchored in the will to preserve and respect the natural wealths. The work of the senses. The discovery of oneself through the object. The appreciation of what is rare. The respect of the human rights. The safeguarding of know-how…
