Galerie Ketabi Bourdet

Ketabi Bourdet was founded in Paris in 2020 by Charlotte Ketabi-Lebard and Paul Bourdet.

Conceived from the outset as a space where boundaries dissolve, the gallery operates within an increasingly fertile zone where art, design, architecture, and scenography converge. In a landscape where institutions, critics, and collectors move between disciplines with unprecedented fluidity, the gallery positions itself as a place where these dialogues are not only possible, but essential.

Driven by the complementary expertise of its founders, Ketabi Bourdet develops exhibitions that explore how artists and designers challenge established narratives, question the status of functionality, and shift historical readings within their respective fields. The gallery represents and collaborates with figures whose practices embody this expanded dialogue—including Inès Longevial, Mie Olise Kjærgaard, Elizabeth Garouste, Philippe Starck, Richard Texier, Dan Friedman, and Idir Davaine—as well as with major historical estates such as those of Guy de Rougemont and Robert Wilson.

Through monographic and thematic exhibitions, the programme seeks to re-examine overlooked bodies of work, reveal unexpected correspondences between practices, and highlight creators whose contributions lie at the intersection of art history and design theory.
