Japanese artist Tadashi Kawamata will craft three permanent installations for the LVMH-owned Champagne house’s headquarters.
Japanese artist Tadashi Kawamata is the brand’s new partner for the 2026 edition of its Conversations with Nature project. Mr. Kawamata will reveal his plans for an upcoming series of artworks later this month at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, premiering an installation at Ruinart ’s headquarters by the end of the year.
"The installation offers an experience and a different point of view,” said Mr. Kawamata, in a statement. “The world is not the same when you are five meters above the ground,” he said. “You feel the wind and hear things differently.Best known for his artworks created from wood and furniture, Mr. Kawamata will use the same style for his Conversations with Nature entry. Split into three editions, titled “Tree Hut,” “Nest” and “Observatory,” he seeks to highlight the connections between art, Champagne and the biodiversity surrounding Ruinart’s headquarters. The works are inspired by the artist’s visit to the Reims address, uplifting his nontraditional observations.

Building plans, site sketches, miniature tree huts and pieces from his “Destruction” collection will be on display; it will later appear at Frieze New York and Art Basel Miami Beach. Alongside the Conversations with Nature installations, Mr. Kawamata designed a unique case for the Ruinart Blanc de Blancs Jeroboam Champagne. Limited to 22 units, the bottle features a wooden case that mimics the aesthetic of the accompanying creative collaboration. Mr. Kawamata is not the only emerging voice at Ruinart; Caroline Fiot stepped in as the company’s Cellar Master at the start of the year (
