Edgar Jayet
Architect and designer

In 2021, after receiving the Van Cleef & Arpels Grand Prix at the Design Parade Toulon, Edgar Jayet founded an interior architecture and design studio between Paris and Venice.

Convinced that contemporary creation cannot be conceived independently of its past, the studio seeks to position its projects in continuity with history and traditional techniques, building a cultivated dialogue between its clients and exceptional French craftsmanship.

Notably, it designed a collection entitled ‘Unheimlichkeit’ in collaboration with the Nissim de Camondo Museum, which aims to question the emotional relationship with furniture and historical objects, in keeping with the memory of the house and the objects it houses.

Joseph Lacroix-Nahmias

After graduating from a prestigious journalism school, Joseph Lacroix-Nahmias fulfilled his dream and, at the age of 23, became a reporter for TF1’s 8 p.m. news programme. He spent two years travelling the roads of France following the news. It was an extraordinary experience, but he quickly felt out of place and that he had chosen the wrong path.

He then sought another way to tell stories: what better than works of art and their narrative power?

After two years of training at Drouot, he set up his own business, Joseph Lacroix-Nahmias Fine Art, with a preference for the turn of the 20th century.

At FAB Paris Joseph Lacroix-Nahmias will be exhibiting a plaster cast by Rodin, a preparatory work for The Gates of Hell, as well as a pastel by Ernest-Ange Duez.

Arthur Laurentin

Arthur Laurentin grew up between his father’s gallery, his mother’s appraisal firm, auction houses and museums. He left this environment to gain experience in finance across the Atlantic, before realising that his true passion was working in art.

His work expresses a predilection for the 19th and 20th centuries.

At FAB Paris, Arthur Laurentin will exhibit a small impressionist oil on cardboard by Louis Hayet, a large and striking painting depicting a bear pit, as well as a small painting by Jean Signovert, for whom he is preparing a catalogue raisonné and publishing a small booklet of around thirty of the artist’s works for FAB Paris.

Thomas Rey

Thomas Rey abandoned his career as an engineer to devote himself to old masters. In 2022, with his partner, he began specialising in antique drawings, then moved to the Saint-Ouen flea market and opened a space in Paris in 2024, where he offers selected works ranging from the late 16th to the early 19th century.

Passionate about the Grand Siècle, he loves the remarkable precision and realism of still lifes, and the large compositions of vibrant and animated stories featuring characters with heightened emotions and almost theatrical personalities, ranging from Caravaggio-esque light and shadow to the shimmering colours of the Rubensians.

Thomas Rey will present at FAB Paris a large oil on canvas of Alexander covering the body of Darius III from the Circle of Erasmus Quellinus II (1607-1678) and a Still Life with a Water Jug and a Nautilus by Meiffren Conte and workshop (1630-1705).

Manolo Vosse

The grandson of a renowned saddler and son of a master bow maker, Manolo Vosse was immersed in the unique atmosphere of artistic craftsmanship from a very young age.

After working as a craftsman for four years, he founded the Kopek gallery at the age of 24 and set up shop at the Paul Bert Serpette market.

He offers a carefully selected range of objects, combining antique statuary, folk art from around the world, 18th-century furniture, constructivist pieces and primitive objects.

Manolo Vosse will be exhibiting an exceptional Celtiberian horse in andesite, a truly timeless piece which, for Manolo, evokes both the origins of mankind and great modernity.
