This past September, we had the opportunity to take part in Paris Deco Off 2026, thanks to our involvement in the “La Tempête” collection created by Jeremy Pradier-Jeauneau and exhibited at the Arc de Triomphe. It is such an authentic, unique, and artistic place that we at the atelier wanted to celebrate it and bring it into our Sagarminaga universe.

En el atelier creamos una reinterpretación de la palma victoriosa que adorna el Arco del Triunfo (01). Una flor que forma parte de Mémoire haute/ Mémoire basse y culmina con la transformación inspirada en la leyenda de Santa Rita y la milagrosa flor que florece bajo la nieve.

The flower emerges as a gesture of transformation: what belongs to architecture becomes organic, tactile, and alive.

The "making-of" begins with a metal frame, created by our team, onto which the esparto grass is gradually added, following its lines and adapting to its contours. The fibers are added and secured by hand, one by one, gradually building the shape and giving form to each element of the composition.

Este gesto repetido permite transformar una estructura inicial en una pieza escultórica de gran presencia, manteniendo visibles las tensiones, los ritmos y la huella del trabajo manual. El resultado nace como una conversación constante entre estructura y materia, donde cada incorporación modifica y completa la forma. (02)

También debemos destacar el tinte rojo que creamos en el atelier. El rojo introduce una dimensión inesperada en la pieza. Frente al carácter monumental y  del Arco del Triunfo, el color aporta intensidad, energía y un carácter más contemporáneo, haciendo que la flor adquiera una presencia propia dentro de la arquitectura.

As a result of our team’s work, the flower preserves the memory of the victorious palm but transforms it: the architectural ornament becomes organic, and stone finds a new expression in plant matter. A gesture that connects Jeremy Pradier-Jeauneau’s exhibition with the world of Sagarminaga Atelier.

We are very proud to have been part of Jeremy Pradier-Jeauneau’s *La Tempête* and to have had the opportunity to showcase our work at such an iconic location as the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, a site of such immense historical and symbolic value.
