Designs for life
As Artcurial prepares to auction fashion designer Kenzo Takada's art and furniture collection, we peek behind the scenes at pieces as vibrant and eclectic as their owner.
Life in motion

Only human
Early 2021's cultural highlights: meditative documentaries, introspective music, and a besotted auteur's story.
