The Salon: A Standard Bearer of the Art of French Living
Maison et Objet is the unmissable crossroads for professionals in decoration, furniture, and design. No less than 100,000 professionals from 40 nationalities have gathered to equip themselves and soak in the trends of spring 2008. Cosmopolitan and irreverent are the watchwords of the salon: from modular PVC furniture to the bright colors of contemporary-shaped lighting, and through an “ethnic chic” style, the fashion cuts through classic codes. Wall stickers are in the spotlight: unashamedly bold, quirky, and ephemeral, they apply to all surfaces and can be removed easily without leaving a trace on their supports.
Eco-Design at the Forefront
Decoration has often been a scene of expression without limits or constraints. Once again, Maison et Objet defies traditional clichés, as illustrated by the NellyRodi style agency. Through “re-think, reduce, re-use, recycle,” it gives a second life to objects. Many creators have chosen fair production. By cleverly mixing design and eco-materials, these original and aesthetic objects help turn a page toward responsible consumption.
Hall Indoor/Outdoor: A Significant Trend in Outdoor Furniture
The revelation of this salon is undoubtedly the success encountered by the first edition of the universe dedicated to outdoor decoration. After everyday objects, living spaces, and tableware, the art of good taste invites itself into our gardens, terraces, and balconies, which have become true new rooms of the house. Over thousands of square meters of exhibition, we appreciated high-end furniture and accessories. New forms, but also innovative materials benefitting from the latest research and development innovations, are adapting to outdoor climatic conditions.
The attendance at the salon testifies to its role as a true showroom of the latest trends. The next rendezvous is at the Furniture Show, also dedicated to professionals, from January 24 to 28 at the Parc des Expositions du Bourget.
