Once again this year, Galerie Gastou joins forces with Féau Boiseries to present a booth of refined décor, combining palm wood and mirrored surfaces. Within this exceptional setting, two historic masterpieces will be unveiled in dialogue with contemporary works.
For the first time, Philippe Hiquily’s Femme Cubiste will be presented, one of his most spectacular coffee tables, created in 1977 — the height of his career as a sculptor — a work of ideal proportions and strikingly refined forms. Hiquily’s table will be shown alongside a dining room ensemble from Ado Chale, created in the 1980’s for a special commission in collaboration with sculptor Koenraad Tinel, whose expressive craftsmanship is reinterpreted through Chale's signature material poetry.
Both ensembles, never before exhibited, are of museum-level significance.

In dialogue with these historic works, the gallery brings together new works from two contemporary creators: Emmanuel Jonckers and Omar Chakil.
Jonckers will present his « Kozinga » dining table in aeronautical metal, nickel silver and resin, one of the boldest and most spectacular pieces of his creation. Every detail is conceived and chiselled with obsessive precision, creating a movement that seems to animate the table’s fixed surface endows the whole with a singular vibration. It is a unique, exceptional piece — the kind of work an artist creates only once in a lifetime.
Omar Chakil has created, for the occasion, a series of monumental mirrors in raw Egyptian alabaster onyx with cast aluminium details, designed specially for the event. The defining note of this 2025 edition will be a sense of grandeur — between heritage and innovation, sculptural power and contemporary audacity.
