After hosting Thomas Mailaender as artist in residence at Tanneries Roux in Romans-sur-Isère, LVMH Métiers d'Art has invited French sculptor and visual artist Amandine Guruceaga as its second artist in residence. Initiated in 2016, this program enriches unique savoir-faire and approaches to exceptional materials at LVMH Fashion Houses, while at the same time stimulating creativity and innovation through dialogue between artists and artisans.

LVMH Métiers d'Art has launched a second chapter in its artist in residence program at Spanish tannery Riba Guixà, near Barcelona. A longstanding partner of LVMH, the Catalan tannery is a local firm founded in 1932 by Joan Riba Guixà and has been headed by the same family for three generations. LVMH acquired a stake in this local company in 2015.
