The Fondation Etrillard is launching the second edition of the Âmes d'Œuvres Craft Competition.
The aim of this competition is to promote creativity, innovation and craftsmanship among artisans, while encouraging interdisciplinarity.
To participate, candidates must draw inspiration from one of the key pieces in the Foundation's collection and reinterpret it by designing an original work according to pre-established criteria. For this second edition in 2025-27, the piece chosen is the remarkable Vase aux lions.
Once selected by the jury, the winner will create his or her piece, which will be exhibited and added to the Fondation Etrillard's collection.
To register for the guided tour of the work, which will take place in Paris in autumn 2025, or to receive the information sheet and photographs of the Vase aux lions, please write to contact@fondatinonetrillard.com.
Applications open from Monday, June 2 to Thursday, December 18, 2025.
