Despite bitterly cold winter temperatures, Maison&Objet warmed up the decor, design and lifestyle sector with an electrifying edition. With vibrant aisles, an explosion of colour and new products, and enthusiastic visitors from around the world, Maison&Objet was more than just a trade show. This event drives business across the sector, inspiring this engaged, growing community. Maison&Objet is a key strategic partner for players across the entire decor, design and lifestyle industry.

Every year, this event adapts swiftly to the latest changes in the industry, offering an indispensable platform for decoding trends and expanding business opportunities for brands, as well as specifiers, architects and interior designers. The January 2025 event marked a key milestone in the transition that began last September. Originality, boldness, desirability and innovation: these four words sum up this year’s event, a unique experience at the crossroads of business and creation.

In addition to a carefully selected offering in 15 sectors, Maison&Objet has also made investments designed to attract new visitors, through practical yet inspiring programmes: What’s New? This signature programme showcases highly desirable projects, ideas and concepts that can be effortless adapted as well as emerging trends that are redefining each of the three featured sectors.

What’s New? In Hospitality

Up-and-coming designer Julien Sebban (founder of the architecture studio Uchronia) shook up the hospitality industry with a colourful hotel whose cheerful juxtaposition of motifs challenged the status quo, embodying the show’s Sur/Reality theme, while creating bespoke pieces with industry leaders (the monumental table in the lobby was designed especially for Maison&Objet). Somewhere between retrofuturism and contemporary baroque, this curated, cutting-edge selection from the brands at the show and on MOM reflected an opulent and desirable vision for the hospitality industry of the future.

What’s New? In Decor

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of surrealism, the talented Elizabeth Leriche immersed visitors in decor created with some of the show’s finest gems, crafting a series of disruptive, poetic scenes: an enchanted forest, a bed in the clouds, hypnotic motifs, an upside-down room. It was easy to spot the trends for the coming season from among the show’s exhibitors.

What’s New? In Retail

François Delclaux dreamed up a cabinet of curiosities for retailers, staged so as to foreshadow the ideal concept, at the crossroads of a unique retail experience original boutique entertainment and trendy items that will set the tone for the season.
