The exhibition “Cartier, Islamic Inspiration and Modern Design”, presented at the Louvre, explored the historical relationship between Cartier and the artistic traditions of the Islamic world. The concept focused on tracing how Islamic art influenced Cartier’s designs from the early 20th century to the present day.

The exhibition featured over 400 objects, including jewellery, Islamic artworks, drawings and photographs, offering a comprehensive view of this cultural and artistic dialogue. Through a carefully curated layout, the exhibition connected heritage, craftsmanship and contemporary design within one unified narrative.
