Located in Paris’s Golden Triangle, at 51 rue François 1er, Eric Bompard’s new address is a cosy showcase for his famous cashmere pieces. To inaugurate the opening, Bompard invited JonOne to sign a capsule collection. Superb beige cashmeres adorned with the artist’s signature, T-shirts smeared with black paint, and soft bonnets were the result of this collaboration.

“We both wanted to work from my silhouette, which is part of my paintings, the décor and my studio, which is full of paint. I never change, I’m always covered in paint. People always ask me if they can have a shirt, jeans or trainers like mine, if I cover them with drops of paint on purpose. The creative director at Bompard heard me and wanted to do a line of cashmere clothes inspired by my paint-stained studio outfits.”

In 2020, la Faïencerie de Gien invited three internationally renowned artists from different continents – French artist Inès Longevial, American artist JonOne and Chinese artist Peng Yong – to work on two extraordinary pieces, a vase over a meter high and a large plate. This surprising line-up marked the tricentennial of the faience factory.

“The vase inspired me to have a volcanic effect through its shape… I made this vase on a full moon night; my mind was volcanic itself… I wanted to find an atypical aesthetic that differed from usual vases (…). I had the chance to work twice with the oldest ceramic factory in Lisbon, Portugal. There I understood the contact with this material. So, I saw this vase as a work of art or a canvas… The medium didn’t scare me.”

Daum further asserts its place in urban art through this collaboration with JonOne. The legendary French crystal works gave carte blanche to the artist and provided him with a new vessel for his creativity. Following the forms of his tags, he created crystal artworks in his classic color-bomb style. The crystal works and JonOne decide to combine their art and passion for color to create some exceptional pieces in intense and striking tones that play with relief and reflection: Crystal Rock I and II, Seeing Through the Night and Table for Two, a centerpiece of the collection. This coffee table made as a limited-edition series of eight pieces is individually personalized with graffiti by the artist. This collaboration allows for an unexpected dialogue between the world of street art and that of Maison Daum.

JonOne’s work focuses on movement, color and freedom of line, revealing his imagination and optimistic vision of our society.
This was not lost on agnès b., who exhibited his work at Galerie du Jour in 1989. Their friendship gave rise to numerous collaborations: performances and murals, garments featuring Jonone’s designs, a t-shirt auctioned off to raise money for the Abbé Pierre Foundation, and Kleman/agnès b. boots customized by JonOne. The agnès b. SS18 collection features the work of JonOne alongside that of the artists Adrien Beau, Bertrand Loubé, Lek & Sowat, Elzo Durt and Icon.

The Hennessy Very Special Limited Edition by JonOne, which features a colorful, vibrant design, is the latest addition to an ongoing series of collaborations between Hennessy and internationally renowned urban artists such as Scott Campbell, Ryan McGinness, Shepard Fairey, Os Gemeos and Futura. The Maison instantly sensed a kindred spirit in JonOne. Constantly on the move between his home base in Paris, his native Harlem and cutting-edge art scenes all over the world, the artist has always remained true to himself, pushing boundaries and defying labels.

For JonOne, art is a vector for pure emotion: what drives him is being “in the flow” and “sharing dreams”.
“JonOne is a unique talent who shares many traits with Hennessy,” notes Bernard Peillon, Chairman and CEO of Maison Hennessy. “Jon has an open spirit, he stays curious. His passion lies in constantly pushing his work to new heights, to new places, even though he is already a true master and has nothing left to prove. Like Hennessy, he never stops and never settles.”

Perrier, the iconic sparkling natural mineral water brand, continues to declare its love of artistic audacity in the hope of catching the admiring eye of art fans worldwide. The brand has inspired some of the greatest artists of the last century, including Dali, Colette, Carlu, Villemot and even Warhol.

In the spirit of effervescence, creativity and impertinence, Perrier has chosen three of the most influential street artists in the world to create limited edition bottles: JonOne, Paris’ favorite adopted American, the poetic Sasu from Japan and the humanist Brazilian artist, Kobra. All three came up with 9 unique designs available on the iconic glass bottle, PET bottle and the Perrier Slim Can.

In 1853, specially commissioned for the marriage of Eugénie de Montijo and Napoleon III, Pierre-François-Pascal created the Eau de Cologne Impériale and its Bee Bottle. Empress Eugénie fell under its spell and the other European courts were quick to follow suit. Thanks to this creation, Maison Guerlain even gained the title of official supplier to the Imperial Court. And so, the Guerlain perfume bottle with its 69-bee design entered the history books.

The legendary Bee Bottle lends itself easily to all kinds of customization. For its 160th anniversary in 2013, nine legends of the art world rendered homage to its iconic design. Each one-liter decorative bottle presented itself as a blank canvas, forming an immaculate urban installation, waiting to be brought to life by JonOne’s explosion of color. Drawing on all the richness of his artistic practice and personal history, JonOne invented his own language of color to evoke the perfumes Shalimar (blue), La Petite Robe Noire (pink), and Rose Barbare (orange).

As if by osmosis, contents and recipient become one and the intangible takes form. Made in the artist’s studio in Paris, each bottle is unique, a true marvel of abstraction and energy individually created and signed by JonOne.

Always keeping its finger on the pulse when it comes to modern life and contemporary art, Air France has chosen to collaborate once again with JonOne, known for his unique style fusing street art with painting. Having already created the piece Air France Forever to celebrate the company’s 80-year anniversary, JonOne was invited to put his own twist on the iconic airline’s signature “accent”. The reworked logo was then proudly displayed on a Boeing 777 from Air France’s long-haul fleet. Meanwhile, on board, passengers were able to enjoy the effortless French style and total comfort of the company’s state-of-the-art cabins.

The aircraft, decked out in its shiny new uniform, was inaugurated with a trip to New York, a city that is not only the artist’s hometown but also one of Air France’s oldest destinations. It hardly comes as a surprise that this “accent”, designed to travel around the world, symbolizes a value cherished by France and by JonOne: freedom.

Broadcast on October 28, 2015 as part of the Lacoste L!VE campaign, with original sound design by Birdy Nam Nam, the video is based on the principle of “repetition”, embodying the bold values of Lacoste and JonOne. Self-confidence and faith in one’s abilities and projects are the characteristics shared by artists who know how to make a name for themselves and fashion brands that stand the test of time. The identity and savoir-faire of Lacoste are represented by iconic pique cotton and the signature shades of its red and green logo.

The mood reflects the very intense side of JonOne and the force he transmits though his dynamic, almost brutal, creative process. A predominance of black and white, a lot of grain and an aesthetic resembling old analog film are used to emphasize the weight of JonOne and Lacoste’s respective 30 and 80-year histories…

The video explores JonOne’s visceral need to create and the determinedness with which he paints, he who wishes to leave a mark on the artistic landscape, to make sure his name remains forever engraved upon our current era. This obsession seems to haunt his nights; the video is like stepping into the artist’s dreams.
