Hôtels Beaumier
Since 2021, Hôtels Beaumier have been developing a bespoke and sincere approach, deeply rooted in the landscapes they inhabit, from the Alps to the Mediterranean.
For the 2026 edition of La Tablée des Copains, Samuel Eckert has created an illustration that reflects their unique identity. Conceived as a moment suspended in time, this gathering brings together friends, creators, and dreamers around a host who embodies the Beaumier spirit.

Bruno Mangyoku
Forbes Japan
In this series of illustrations for Forbes Japan, Bruno Mangyoku takes us to Japan, at the heart of startup culture, across three regions: Yamanashi, Hokkaido, and Kyoto. Drawings like a narrative, where we follow entrepreneurs in their daily lives: at work, deep in thought, or exploring new places to build their projects. An illustration composed of several planes that gives it a cinematic tone.
Damien Florébert Cuypers

Stefan Glerum
M Le Monde
In July 2020, a business owner discovered she was the target of an assassination plot after two armed men were arrested near her home. The investigation revealed a criminal network involving military personnel, police officers, and civilians, some of whom were linked to a Masonic lodge.
To illustrate the article for M Le Monde magazine, Stefan Glerum takes us into two mysterious, almost esoteric illustrations. In the first, three silhouettes in the dark wear Masonic attire; in the second, eight playing cards display key elements related to the case. These illustrations heighten the atmosphere of tension and mystery. The full investigation is available on M Le Monde.
Jean Jullien
SOS Méditerranée
Ten years ago, on March 7, 2016, 74 people were rescued and welcomed aboard the first vessel of the SOS Méditerranée association.
To tell this story, Jean Jullien chose to depict the meeting of two worlds: a fragile makeshift boat, and behind it, the Aquarius, a reassuring silhouette of possible rescue. A simple yet powerful image that, on its own, conveys both the urgency and the humanity at work.
This illustration opens a chronological series created by artists from diverse backgrounds, all brought together to bear witness, each in their own way, to this reality at sea.
Since then, SOS Méditerranée has tirelessly continued its rescue operations in the Central Mediterranean. Day after day, the association provides aid, protects lives, and, through its actions, reminds us that at the heart of this humanitarian crisis are, above all, men, women, and children.

Jean André
Clarks
Jean André celebrates love with Clarks through a “True Love” heart, accompanied by his rose.
The print by RO Studio is created using the traditional Katagami technique, allowing the material to breathe and revealing the full beauty of its texture. You can feel the gesture, the process, the hand: each pair is unique.
Only 30 were created, imagined for family and friends, like a concentrated expression of sharing and love!
Yann Le Bec
Le Monde
In his article “Women of Caluire,” Benoît Hopquin recounts the decisive role played by several women connected to the arrest of Jean Moulin, who for a long time remained in the shadows of History. Madeleine Raisin, Suzanne Olivier, Colette Pons and others acted at the risk of their lives in an attempt to prevent the death of the leader of the Resistance.
Yann Le Bec’s illustrations, built around an almost cinematic framing — tight shots, faces under tension, suggested silences — immerse the reader at the heart of the action. The black and white heightens the dramatic intensity and gives this fragment of history, though very real and still little known, a disturbing atmosphere, almost worthy of a crime novel. Discover it on lemonde.fr.
