Making It Work in Paris
A vibrant dynamic was the main focus at Maison & Objet in January, as the premier décor and design show in Paris celebrated its 20th anniversary. Created 20 years ago to “open the doors to new market and business opportunities for designers, craftspeople, manufacturers, brands and distributors”, the first M&O exhibition of 2015 centred on the theme “Make” in its three trends areas.
“Laissez-faire is no longer the zeitgeist,” said the organisers. “Everyone wants to regain control. Home-made and hand-made are drawing an increasing number of devotees. Traditional forms of savoir-faire are once again a source of value for manufactures objects.”
The exhibition also included a tribute to the global approach embraced by its designer of the year for January, Nendo (Oki Sato): held a competition with its six “Talents à la Carte” to determine which of them would represent Mexico at the premiere of Maison & Objets Americas in Miami Beach from 12 to 15 May (Studio davidpompa won, with over 4,000 Facebook likes); and previewed Maison & Object Asia, to be held in Singapore from 10 to 13 March.
