✨ Renowned Parisian artist and designer José Lévy joins ID Symposium as a guest star, just after unveiling his vision as Creative Director of the France Pavilion for World Expo Osaka 2025.

💬 “The France Pavilion is a showcase for all of France’s artistic wealth—an ode to love, blending art, design, music, and floral art. I want to present a French creation that is both poetic and realistic, historical and contemporary.”

A true multidisciplinary artist, Lévy seamlessly navigates between fashion, design, decorative arts, and museum installations, crafting singular objects that connect the past and future. Recipient of the Villa Kujoyama residency, Grand Prix of the City of Paris, and the title of Knight of Arts and Letters, he has collaborated with iconic houses like Hermès, Perrotin, Carpenters Workshop Gallery, and Manufacture de Sèvres.

📢 In conversation with Amandine Roggeman, Cultural Attaché of the French Embassy in India, Lévy will discuss his creative journey, his vision for the France Pavilion at Osaka 2025, and the intersections of art, design, and storytelling.

🔍 Swipe through to explore his world—from his exclusive designs for the France Pavilion to his most emblematic creations:

2️⃣ The Kayser Bistro – French Pavilion, Osaka 2025
