Where to Go and What to See at Art Basel Paris and Design Miami/Paris 2025

Magma, the artistic platform and annual publication founded by Paul Olivennes, launches its third issue, Archive of the Future, an anthology of more than 100 previously unpublished works and texts by 25 artists, writers, filmmakers, and composers. The volume, its editors say, is ”a living archive of feelings, fears, questions, and insights” of artists including Jean-Luc Godard, Yoko Ono, Patti Smith, and Precious Okoyomon. A companion exhibition takes over Forma Art Centre in the Marais (127 rue de Turenne) October 19 to November 19, presenting around 30 of the works in physical form, revealing how creative minds have seen—and continue to see—the world and themselves. Bottega Veneta sponsors the project.

“Rose, C’est la Vie” Is We Are Ona & India Mahdavi’s Chic Speakeasy

During Art Basel Paris, We Are Ona, the Parisian culinary studio, teams up with designer and architect India Mahdavi for “Rose, C’est la Vie,” a reservation-only restaurant in a former car garage turned floral reverie. October 20 through 26, the establishment will welcome around 200 guests daily for six-course lunches and eight-course dinners in an otherworldly spaced wrapped floor to ceiling in a Rose d’Ispahan–inspired motif. “The flower is used [as a motif] a lot in Iran, but never to this scale,” the AD00 designer says. “The pattern will be on everything, making the garage a genderless speakeasy that’s homey, intimate, and multi-sensorial.” Chef Jesús Durón (formerly head chef of the buzzy Pujol in Mexico City) leads the menu, while We Are Ona founder Luca Pronzato and his team will curate the drink pairings. The precise address in the 7th arrondissement will be unveiled at the start of the fair, adding a little secrecy to heighten the reveal. “You get a real respite from the streetscape—a hidden Paris,” Pronzato assures.

Shearling intarsia with enchanting patterns converse with 20th-century design icons in the new Éditions release.

Old Design Meets Upcycled Material With Yves Salomon Éditions

Yves Salomon brings its homeware arm, Yves Salomon Éditions, to L’Hôtel de Maisons October 21–26, staging a conversation between vintage icons and contemporary craft. In what was once Karl Lagerfeld’s bathroom, stools by Osvaldo Borsani, a chest of drawers by Ettore Sottsass, and a bench and side table by Carlo Bugatti appear alongside vintage furniture elevated with upcycled leathers, furs, and shearlings from the Yves Salomon workshops. Textiles developed in collaboration with Pierre Marie complete the presentation, reinforcing Yves Salomon’s philosophy of blending heritage with reinvention.
