agney*'s sister brand RIVERET was invited to participate in Salon Art Shopping, a leading art fair in Paris, France.
■What is "Salon Art Shopping"?
Artists and gallerists active around the world, mainly from Paris, gather in droves.
This is a major art event where excellent artworks from around the world are gathered in one place, and paintings, art, and artworks are exhibited and sold. This year's Art Shopping is exhibiting 149 artists and 51 galleries from all over the world.
■ "Carrousel du Louvre"
The venue is the Carrousel du Louvre.
This large commercial facility is directly connected to the Louvre via an underground passageway, and is visited by art professionals and art fans from all over the world.
It is said that the salon space at the Carrousel du Louvre is also where Paris Fashion Week, the cutting edge of the fashion industry, is held.
The staff was awed when they saw the symbol, the inverted glass pyramid that became famous in the movie "The Da Vinci Code."
During the exhibition, VIPs such as curators from the Louvre, professors from academic institutions, gallerists, media and publishers also visited the exhibition in droves.
■Popular RIVERET products on sale
The RIVERET Cafe au Lait Mugs and new series of sake cups that we exhibited this time, as well as the highlight, the Manhattan, were so well-received by the museum curator that he purchased several items on the spot.
I think it received some recognition as a piece of three-dimensional art.
French customers are particularly particular about the aesthetic sense of the product and the brand story. It seems that they appreciated the beauty of the shape and feel of RIVERET products, as well as the philosophy of using natural materials.
Thinking that our craftsmen would be pleased, I sent them photos from Paris along with a report, but they were all expensive paintings, so they were all interested in those instead.

◆What are "RIVERET" tableware products?
"RIVERET" products are a highly acclaimed brand of unprecedented natural tableware that combines the beauty of natural materials (Moso bamboo) with the outstanding craftsmanship of artisans.
The curved lines that fit comfortably in the hand and the natural texture that brings out the flavor of the food served are not just for design, but are also a completely new type of bamboo tableware that can be used for everyday use in a variety of situations. It is also perfect as a gift for a special someone or as a souvenir.
In addition, all tableware has passed the test results of the Japan Food Analysis Center, and is coated with our proprietary coating technology "LOHAS Coat," which has been proven to "suppress E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus" through the synergistic effect of paint containing natural green tea ingredients and phytoncides* inherent to bamboo. The six-layer coating means that you can use it safely with dark-colored drinks such as coffee and wine, as well as with food. In addition, it is compatible with home dishwashers, which was not possible before. It has passed the dishwasher dryer durability test, which is rare for tableware made from natural materials. Another major feature is that it can be washed with neutral dishwashing detergent, just like ceramic or glass tableware.
