LE SALON
Paris
Le Salon travelled to Paris for a two–day pop-up at Exposure Gallery, extending the ongoing dialogue between Le Tings and Johnnie Sapong. The space continued our exploration of the barbershop as a place of style, care and cultural exchange — a place where people gather and shape identity in real time. We brought the chair, hand-painted signage, collaged textiles, market relics and Ashanti symbols, which sat alongside live hair styling, Le Tings bags, and various different artworks. Across the weekend, people drifted in from the Marais and beyond — friends, locals, artists, the curious — all pulled into conversations that unfolded naturally around Johnnie’s chair. Daylight poured in, music played, and the exchange of stories and culture between London, Paris, and beyond flowed with ease.
