In the heart of Tokyo’s Meguro district, Licht Gallery welcomes an extraordinary creative force from Marseille: Camille Paillard and Romain Voulet, the visionary minds behind CPRV.

This intimate space becomes a canvas for their bold, minimalist designs—objects that transcend mere functionality to become a visual feast. The exhibition at Licht Gallery is an invitation to explore CPRV’s meticulously crafted world—a realm where every object tells a story of innovation, simplicity, and beauty. Camille and Romain present their famous objects like APLAT—a paper lamp whose gentle silhouette offers a delicate contrast to the bold, strong forms of the aluminum KGT wall unit produced by Util. Also featured is the Azuki chair, specially designed for this exhibition, epitomizing their commitment to blending elegance with functionality.

Licht Gallery, nestled in its serene Tokyo surroundings, has been a haven for eclectic furniture since its inception in 2018. Its curated collection spans both contemporary and classic pieces, each selected for their playful defiance of convention. Hosting around five special exhibitions annually, Licht Gallery has carved out a niche for itself in the global design community, recognized for its unique perspective and curated elegance.

CPRV, founded in 2020 by Camille Paillard and Romain Voulet, is an avant-garde industrial design studio where form and function harmoniously coexist. Camille, with her illustrious collaborations with design legends like Tom Dixon and Philippe Starck, injects a visionary flair into the duo’s creations. Romain, bringing his expertise from Yomeus Design and Industrial Facility, adds a deep understanding of user-centric, functional aesthetics. Their partnership at CPRV has yielded a portfolio of products, lighting, furniture, and interiors that elevate everyday life, merging practical utility with stunning visual appeal.
