IDE—International Design Expedition—is the name of the initiative led by designer Mathilde Bretillot. For several years, the *institut français* has supported this transdisciplinary project, bringing together French and international designers and artisans around themes of craftsmanship, conceptual design, and gastronomy. Through this exhibition, visitors can discover the creations and collaborations envisioned between 2019 and 2024 in Italy, Poland, Cambodia, and most recently in Sweden.
