Maison et Objet is almost here and you need to know what to expect!

M&O is ready to amaze us with the best exhibitors and a top quality event that no one can resist. Design will take over Paris from the 7th to the 11th of September and we’re extremely excited to find out what’s coming. How about you? Today, we’ll be telling you what you need to know before you dive deep into the biggest design event of the year.

1. Theme: Virtuous

Vincent Grégoire from trend agency NellyRodi, analyses the theme of this year’s edition of Maison et Objet, telling us that “We must put an end to this shift towards generalised overstimulation. We need new rules, a more virtuous ethic, innovative solutions for alternative growth and consumer practices.” It’s clear that this year’s theme will focus primarily on innovation of materials and designs, and the creation of an experience to consumers.

This year’s theme will be one you won’t want to miss, with debates and new trends and ideas swimming to the surface, exposing new ideals for the interior design world. Paris will be enveloped in innovation and you will want to be there to witness it all.

2. It coincides with Paris Design Week

From 6th of September to the 15th, the universe of Maison&Objet is brought to the entire city in a week dedicated to design with exhibitions, debates and professionals from all over the world that come together to celebrate design. You can learn about Parisian design, as well as new and emerging topics in the world of international design. With showrooms and new themed itinerary, this will be a dynamic, exciting and surely enlightening experience for all those involved.

You will be able to attend design events all over the city, enjoying design to the maximum and learning more and more about this extraordinary world that is forever innovating.
