Some collaborations are full of promise, as in the case of the partnerships presented at the Design Week Milan 2025 by French publishers in collaboration with the Mobilier national, whose ambition is to be present not only in the highest places of the French Republic, but also wherever its products of excellence are destined to shine.
As a supporter of crafts and creation since the 17th century, Mobilier National’s mission is to ensure the preservation and restoration of its unique collections, to perpetuate and pass down exceptional craftsmanship. As a major heritage site, the institution is also an important actor of contemporary creation and the promotion of French decorative arts. The tapestries and pieces of furniture exhibited by the Mobilier National are true tributes to the great names in design.
Tapestry editions are celebrated, with limited edition tapestries by Joan Miró (1893 – 1983) published by Ateliers Pinton.

Joan Miró is a Catalan artist, internationally recognised for his role in 20th century avant-garde circles. His work is characterised by a poetic and dreamlike style, sometimes figurative, sometimes abstract, with the support of themes from classical painting. From the late 1920s onwards, Miró began experimenting with a number of other artistic techniques, including collage, ceramics and tapestry.

In the 1960s, Joan Miró began collaborating with France’s national manufacturers. Through the Maeght gallery, the Manufactures des Gobelins et de la Savonnerie produced several weavings based on the artist’s work from 1966 onwards. Three works were transposed into tapestries, and another into a carpet. The manufactures produced tapestries of these works until 1998. The Mobilier National now holds Miró’s tapestries and rugs in its collections, and uses them to furnish prestigious venues.
