The Salon Meuble Maison et Décoration, which opened its doors last Saturday, November 7th, at the Palais des Expositions in Nice, beautifully highlights the light of innovation and design this year by offering the curious visitor a journey filled with surprises, at every turn of each aisle.
The 12,000 m² of exhibition space are barely sufficient for the 150 or so exhibitors eager to showcase their latest novelties, the ones that will set tomorrow’s trends. From aisle to aisle, it’s a marvel of objects, materials, and colors that will adorn this exhibition site until November 15th. This year, for the first time, a strong emphasis is placed on art, innovation, and design, here combined with the future tense that outlines the new trends which will shape the interiors of tomorrow.
A quick glance at the exhibition program reveals that everything is gathered here, much like the largest equivalent European and worldwide events, to ensure that visitors find what they came for—primarily to spark their curiosity.
Designers?
Yes, but award-winning ones, multi-rewarded, and truly innovative, like Matalie Crasset, Stéphanie Marin Philippe Nigro, and about thirty others who have come to captivate us.
Artists?
Yes, discreet and yet inseparable from the decor universe set up under the magnificent glass roof that shelters them. From the moment you arrive, you will be charmed by the enchanting world of JUNE’s little boats, stranded on golden sand that invites you to lie down. As you wander through your visit, you might encounter the moving totems by the artist BISBART or the “mirror couple” by the Azurian artist SUZANNE L in the lounge space.
The creators of tomorrow?
Yes, with the ORBICOM school from Villeneuve Loubet, which will be holding an exhibition all week on level +1 to demonstrate, explain, and dissect some of the trendiest and most original decorating techniques.
Surprises?
Yes, with the C(h)AMELOEON exhibit, realized in partnership with FCBA and the General Council of the Alpes Maritimes, still on level +1, presenting materials that change with us, for us, which will continue to surprise and plunge us into a not-so-distant future.
But the Salon Meuble Maison et Décoration is also about a few figures:
12,000 m² of exhibition
150 exhibitors
Approximately 40,000 visitors expected over the 9 open days
33 French and European designers
6 conferences on design and sustainable furniture
Around 80% of exhibitors from the PACA region
1 free children’s play area for ages 3/10
Significant economic benefits for the region
Thousands of ideas for all budgets
Infinite pleasure in visiting everything!
Speaking of ideas, here’s a rather original one: today, Tuesday, November 10th, the salon will celebrate women by offering them free entry to the event on the occasion of the FEMIN’IN day. What a lovely innovation.
And for the night owls, it’s happening on Thursday, November 12th, with the salon’s only nocturnal event during the DESIGNERS and VIP night, from 7 PM to 10 PM, an excellent way to shop “by night.”
As you can see, this new edition of the Salon Meuble Maison Décoration has become an unmissable event for furniture enthusiasts and now also for art and design lovers who wish to incorporate a sustainable development dimension into their interiors. A beautiful innovation for the region and undeniable success. In any case, one thing is sure: there are those who go and live these trends, and then there are the others. So don’t hesitate, hurry to the Palais des Expositions, until Sunday, November 15th, inclusive, to feast your eyes!
