Songmont In Paris 2025
Song of Mont (Le Chant de la Montagne)
Paris, 2025
This year in Paris, we opened our Eastern Pavilion under the theme Song of Mont (Le Chant de la Montagne). Inside, sounds could be seen — woven through collections that together formed a chorus from the East.
An Invitation to Climb an Ancient Painting
To reach the pavilion, guests first stepped into a living painting from the 10th century. Inspired by Travelers Among Mountains and Streams, we reimagined its landscape through lantern-lit canvas mountains, soft light flowing like brushstrokes. Music produced by POEJI, in a meditative Zen rhythm, guided travelers through this journey between art and reality.
Gathered with Song
Friends of Songmont from around the world journeyed inside, carrying their favorite Songmont bags and wearing ready-to-wear pieces from the house. Some arrived with instruments in hand, contributing their own melodies to the rhythm of the space. Their conversations — stories of travels and adventures — intertwined to form a gentle symphony that filled the pavilion.
Chorus from the East
The inspirations behind our designs came together like a choir: the eaves of Nanchan Temple from Drippy, echoing the sound of time; the shifting moon of Luna, whispering the sound of evening; the Silk Road of Gather, resonating with desert winds and camel bells; and the Tibetan tiger of Yore, roaring softly with courage.
Together, these voices surrounded our guests — inviting them to see each piece as both an individual expression and part of a greater harmony. Upon closer look, the sound of craftsmanship grew louder: the textures of leather in different types, and the rhythm of hand-stitched pieces forming each Bag.
Lasting Zen in Paris
Agarwood scent drifted through the air, grounding the senses and softening the city’s pace. At the end of the journey, guests entered the Zen Room — a quiet sanctuary wrapped in cushions and soft bell tones. There, the chorus of the East faded into silence, leaving only stillness — a lingering calm that stayed long after one had left the mountain.
