The Emballage exhibition is celebrating its 40th edition. For this anniversary, the French Institute of Design presents an exhibition bringing together for the first time historic packaging on loan from the biggest brands. The exhibition "I love pack since 1947" is a first.
It traces the evolution of innovation and techniques in the packaging sector from the post-World War II period to the present day, with a prospective view (from yesterday to tomorrow).
"Since 1947", we've gone from bulk to packaged!

A digital program in the form of "zapping".
Directed by Olivier Delas...this program will plunge us into the universe of each era. For example, the 60's decade, "pop years and eph leg" will show "plastic is fantastic" - the first PVC bottle by Lesieur and the first plastic water bottle by Total -, against a backdrop of period gingles and newsreels.
