On 7 November 2026, TERN brought its collaboration with Wikipedia to Paris with a one-day pop-up at 62 rue Charlot. Free and open to its community, the event combined a collection presentation with hands-on screen-printing workshops.
TERN creates clothing and objects inspired by internet culture. This collection took Wikipedia’s familiar lettering and puzzle globe beyond the screen, onto jackets, sweatshirts, a striped polo and a globe-shaped lamp.
Simon, known as Le Papoteur, led the event’s organisation and worked with the creative team to transform the space into an open workshop. He also created its centrepiece: a giant Wikipedia globe, made by hand.
Throughout the day, visitors could meet the team, explore the collection and learn to print their own garments.
AMONT Showroom facilitated the venue booking, from arranging the viewing to coordinating the rental.
Some projects come together so easily that I almost wonder whether I have done enough. This was one of them. Simon knew what he needed, the space worked, and the team got on with it. My part was to make the connection, respond quickly and follow through.
The project introduced me to TERN and Simon, both full of ideas and quick to turn them into something real. Seeing them work with Wikipedia, something so many of us use almost without thinking, made me want to share their story.
Sometimes that is what I enjoy most about this job: helping people find the space to do something that matters to them, then seeing what they make of it. It was a pleasure to have a small part in this one.
Thank you to Simon and TERN for their trust.
