This is not the first time Lehanneur and the luxury brand work together. The designer previously developed a signature lounge at ArtBasel: Hong Kong in 2014 \u2014 where the Vall\u00e9e de Joux boulders on view here made their China debut. \u201cThis exhibition is a reflection on time,\u201d Lehanneur says. \u201cA dreamy vision of time where each instant differs from the previous one. Here every door opens onto a new story.\u201d<\/p>\n

From Shanghai, the exhibition will move on to several other global cultural capitals.<\/p>\n
