Internationally Maison & Objet is one of the most recognised events in the trade. The bi-annual Parisian tradeshow concentrates on a vast array of manufacturers and creators. Throughout the week that it takes place (22 – 26 Jan) Paris is bubbling with coordinated events and designs on view.  

Maison & Objet

POUENAT Ferronnier, Hall 5B – L44 M43 

This high-end metal workshop founded in 1880, boasts an exhaustive  catalogue of   furniture and lighting fixtures.  The decorative activity was started by the former owner, an Arts Décoratifs student of Gilbert Poillerat.  The new owner Jacques Rayet, runs his company with a passion.  Let Jacques introduce you to the creations, he has convinced some of the most recognized designers in Paris to design for POUENAT: Michel Jouannet; Kaki Kroener; François Champsaur; Damien Langlois-Meurinne; Nicolas Aubagnac ; Thomas Boog ; India Mahdavi; Gilles & Boissier.  

 ULGADOR, Hall 5B – C32

Art is on display here!  Gabor has created wall paper and wall panels by using unique means of application, oxidization and corrosion of metal leafs (such as gold, copper, silver or aluminium). These innovative techniques give amazing colours and particular effects to all original designs 

DN DESIGNS, Hall 5B – F26

A timeless and modern evocation of Byzantine style, the collection uses precious materials. Each product is created as an heirloom piece of jewellery. Gold and silver leaf gilding is redefined to suit 21st century interiors. The 300 year old tradition of mother of pearl inlay is transformed into modern day language. On display: ottomans, tiebacks, etc. 

AUGUSTO GARAVAGLIA, Hall 5B – D25

On display are leather products, manufactured using special techniques.  Augusto is well respected for his technical skills, he also is talented.

IKSEL DECORATIVE ARTS, Hall 5B – C28

This designer/manufacturer of panoramic decorative panels, wall papers and decorative panels and fabrics will manufacture to order. 

PERRINE ROUSSEAU, Hall 5B - B14

Don’t be put off by the attitude! The fabrics are truly fantastic and will satisfy the most eco-conscious person.

Hall 5 B – Editeurs

This Hall is one of the stars of the event, and has been ever since the Paris Decoration Biennale has capsized.  In this building, you will find some of the greatest names from all over. Make sure you visit:

Hall 5 B – Scène d’Intérieurs

Another star at the event, Scène d’Intérieurs showcases a collection of brand names.  Those develop their interpretation of trends and propose to the visitor a show where luxury and extravagance are combined. 

Hall 5C – Projets; Côté Meubles

The concept of “Projets” is ambitious: to gather in a single place an array of talents capable of manufacturing to order, and to propose a solution to any given situation, whether architectural or decorative, artistic or technological!  It is the first time “Projets” is promoted to the January edition of Maison&Objet. 

“Meubles” used to be a show in itself somehow redundant with Maison&Objet.  The former has now been absorbed completely it seems, and will take place in September.   As for the January session, a downsized version “Côté Meubles” shares hall 5C with “Projets”. 

It will be interesting to see what companies are presented on “Projets” and on “Côté Meubles”. 

Hall 7A – NOW!

For its 10^th anniversary, now! is up scaled.  The renewed ambition is to encourage innovation on the spur of the moment; it is to draw beachheads into the future; and it is to bring manufacturers and creators to meet!
