Campus Mode Métiers d'Art & Design - Manufacture des Gobelins

What Campus Mode Métiers d'Art & Design - Manufacture des Gobelins does

Campus Mode Métiers d'Art & Design - Manufacture des Gobelins is a French educational consortium network founded in 2020 and headquartered at 42 avenue des Gobelins in Paris, with a planned flagship physical opening on the Manufacture des Gobelins site in 2026-2027. It coordinates 20+ training institutions — vocational lycées, professional schools, and higher-education bodies — to deliver fashion, métiers d'art, and design education from initial vocational training through research level. The core technology asset is the Grande Matériauthèque, a digital materials database of fact sheets on materials, processes, and object specificities drawn from national collections, launched as a public portal in January 2025.

The portfolio extends beyond formal education into competitions (Prix Jeune Création / Mobilier National, drawing 450+ students from 13 schools in 2026), exhibitions (Vivement Demain, Entrez en Matières — the latter attracting ~6,000 visitors), conference series (La Matière Mise à Nu, Les Rencontres des Savoir-faire, Nouvelles Perspectives Artisanales), a one-year pre-incubator (Tremplin Mode & Textile), and youth outreach (Cordées Athéna, a TikTok partnership). Institutional partners include Mobilier National, Manufactures Nationales – Sèvres, École des Arts Décoratifs - PSL, CNAM, Comité Colbert, Palais Galliera, Crous de Paris, and luxury houses such as Hermès and Chanel.

The entity operates as a public-private educational consortium rather than a commercial venture. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; operations appear funded through government support (Ministry of Culture, France 2030 program, Erasmus+), partner institution contributions, and institutional collaboration. The core team comprises 17 direct employees managing a network whose effective scale spans several thousand students and hundreds of industry partners. Pricing models are not publicly disclosed and the primary "customers" — students, partner schools, and industry collaborators — are served through coordinated programming rather than transactional relationships.
