Shoreditch Design Week (SDW), London Design Festival’s largest dedicated district is taking place 15–20 September 2026 with four main exhibition venues running the first three days (15th – 17th September) providing platforms to emerging designers, new materials, neurodivergent design and the latest interior innovations internationally.
Evolving from the long-established Shoreditch Design Triangle, SDW marks a new chapter for the district with an ambitious and wide-ranging programme. SDW will unite leading brands and studios alongside emerging designers across more than 60 showrooms, galleries and creative spaces. Through a programme of curated exhibitions, installations, showroom activations, talks, tours and workshops, the district will host hundreds of events throughout the week, anchored by four major exhibition venues during the first three days.
Once the historic centre of London’s furniture trade, Shoreditch is today an internationally recognised creative hub, home to architects, interior designers and design-led studios. The district continues to champion emerging talent, innovative ideas and contemporary products across hospitality, residential, retail and workplace sectors, reinforcing Shoreditch’s position as a leading destination for the UK design industry.
At the heart of SDW are four curated exhibitions, each set within a distinct venue and offering a different lens on contemporary design, from product innovation and emerging talent to material intelligence and the future of the workplace.
House of ICON and Design at Work return following their successful debuts last year. They are joined in 2026 by Material Matters, the UK's leading materials exhibition, whose move into the district significantly strengthens Shoreditch's credentials as a destination for specification and innovation.
- Material Matters: born as a critically acclaimed podcast, now a leading international platform for material intelligence across architecture and design. For 2026, it relocates to Shoreditch, taking place at Unlocked - House of ICON: showcasing interior design in all its forms spanning residential and hospitality projects, from Nordic minimalism to bold maximalism. Returning with a bigger space this year is Isola, the first all-in-one curated digital platform offering visibility to emerging designers, design studios, and independent designers around the world, with a focus on innovation and sustainability. - Design at Work: curated by OnOffice, exploring how design shapes wellbeing, efficiency and comfort at work. The 2026 edition introduces Neuroplaces, the UK’s first B2B exhibition and conference dedicated to neuroinclusive and accessible design solutions, co-located at Protein Studios. - ND Selects: a curated showcase by the UK’s top design graduate platform New Designers presents products newly entering the market from young and emerging businesses (aged 1–5 years). Design Burger: The Product Design 100 – this new book and accompanying exhibition presents 100 of the most compelling industrial design projects from the past decade. Positioned with ND Selects, this installation offers a clear snapshot of product design today, spanning consumer tech, furniture, lighting, mobility and related disciplines.
During Shoreditch Design Week, the entire district becomes a platform for design. Showrooms, studios, galleries and brand spaces present a packed programme of launches, exhibitions, installations, talks, tours and workshops, bringing fresh energy and renewed attention to London’s creative heart.
A key destination is the Wax Building, where Tamart and Minimalux will present new work and site-specific presentations. Further participating showrooms include Ally Cappellino, Christopher Farr, Floor Story, Hendel & Hendel, Holte Studio and Nakagawa.

For 2026, Claudia Dorsch will design the exclusive VIP Lounge. Known for interiors shaped by restraint, materiality and architectural sensitivity, Dorsch’s concept reinterprets the chalet for a contemporary audience. Back to the Future - The Chalet Reimagined presents an evolving vision of alpine design, honouring the warmth and traditions of chalet living: timber, fire and craftsmanship, while drawing them into a contemporary register. Influenced by the understated decadence of 1970s Italian ski culture, the design creates a richly layered retreat designed to be lived in across the seasons.
Designed in collaboration with AEVEN, the Decorex 2026 Bar will be brought to life by co-founders Alex Dauley and Grant Pierrus, through the concept of ‘A Seat at the Table’, an immersive communal space exploring connection, craft and collective creativity. Anchored by one long, shared table and surrounded by an eclectic collection of individually sourced chairs from across the global design community, the installation will celebrate the many voices, perspectives and makers shaping the future of design.

Maison&Objet sets the pace with “Pulse in Motion”! A unique burst of creative energy imagined with trend forecasting agency NellyRodi.
Pulse in Motion is a call. A call to move, to act, to reignite a collective momentum. In a fragmented era where reference points are shifting, this theme affirms the essential need for impulse, restoring the desire to move forward. Creating a shared, living, spontaneous dynamic. Turning energy into a driving force.
Pulse in Motion celebrates what brings people together: narratives that create connection, projects that foster unity, and designs that set things in motion. Here, design becomes a tool for cohesion, a catalyst for movement, and an instrument of positive, sensitive, and shared leadership. Innovation is never solitary, it is collective, embodied, and powered by a shared energy. A design that connects, mobilises, and moves us forward together.
To explore the “Pulse in Motion” theme, the creative duo Masquespacio offers a vibrant, colour-rich vision of tomorrow’s design through two installations, both at the show and across the city. They also set the tone for the show’s overall identity by designing the key visual for the autumn edition.
Co-founders of Studio Masquespacio, established in 2010, and the furniture brand Mas Creations, the radiant creative duo from Valencia, Colombian Ana Milena Hernandez and Belgian Christophe Penasse, delight in challenging convention and embracing bold artistic freedom through a 360-degree approach to design. Zoom on their collaboration with Maison&Objet and Paris Design Week in September.
The theme of this edition, “Pulse in Motion”, evokes energy and movement. How does this translate into the space you are imagining for Maison&Objet? CP: “Pulse in Motion” represents an energy that emerges from places, from dynamics, but above all from the people who bring them to life. In a world largely driven by technology, we believe space should reconnect with people emotionally and physically.
You also designed the poster for the September 2026 edition. What lies behind this new visual identity? CP: This creation reflects who we are. It speaks about humanity through materiality. Our intention is to make people “feel” texture through the gaze. AMH: We thought: “More.” More emotion, more colour, more of everything. CP: The poster also says a lot about our vision of the future and our relationship to authenticity. AMH: We want this image to be an invitation to contemplation, to slowing down and taking time.
Maison&Objet marks the highly anticipated return of its Design District and once again entrusts Hall Haus with the creative direction of this singular environment.
Founded by Abdoulaye Niang, Sammy Bernoussi, Teddy Sanches, and Zakari Boukhari, the collective has quickly established itself as one of the most vibrant voices of the new French design scene. Their signature? A living form of design, at the crossroads of cultures, where contemporary aesthetics, sustainable commitment, and plural narratives converge.
For this new edition, they envision an immersive Design District. Step into a rich and inspiring journey through the new generation of lifestyle design, where colour, rhythm and immersive scenography shape a vibrant spatial experience.
At the heart of the Design District, a new generation and innovative materials take center stage with different programs such as Future on Stage, Rising Talent Awards South Africa, the (im)Pulse platforms and the Eco-materials Corner.
At Cook & Share sector, beauty takes its place at the table. Tableware, cutlery, gourmet objects, cooking, and decoration enter into conversation, composing a delicate choreography reminiscent of a perfectly balanced food and wine pairing. Technique gives way to emotion, and the art of hosting becomes an art of sensation.
Sarah Espeute, ambassador of Cook & Share For this year’s edition, contemporary embroiderer Sarah Espeute unveils an inspiring table installation draped in exclusive textile. At its center lies a bespoke piece, intimate, poetic, quietly luxurious, revealed within a scenography conceived as an invitation to gather, contemplate, and share.
"Why embroidered objects? Because of the madeleine de Proust dimension of this technique, which I like to reinvent as a contemporary poem. We all have a memory connected to an embroidered object."
"The theme Pulse in Motion influenced my vision for this edition of the fair. “Pulse” evokes rhythm, vibration and heartbeat, while “In Motion” speaks to collective momentum, action, and shared energy."
A What’s New? In Retail that embodies a living, sensory, and deeply narrative approach to retail.
Pauline Glaizal, the creative force behind this space, brings a sensitive and poetic vision, shaping a territory, a breath of fresh air at the heart of a rapidly evolving market.
Nouveau Souffle, her installation located in Hall 7, invites visitors on an immersive and sensory journey through a curated selection of vibrant pieces and emerging talents discovered directly within the show’s offer. A manifesto for a design “in motion” takes shape, expressed through practical curated sourcing selections designed to support coherent and inspiring sourcing.
Complete this vision with a dedicated Retail Coaching programme led by experts of the sector.
Priestess of scenography and design storytelling, Elizabeth Leriche invites you, in September 2026, on a sensorial voyage across materials and their silent life, perceptible in their textures, their fractures, and their transformations. Hammered metal, wood marked by irregular grain, cracked ceramics, blown glass, each surface retains the memory of what it has endured. Within this dialogue with matter, the artisan’s gesture becomes essential: the hand shapes, inscribes, and sets a rhythm into motion.
Color participates in this movement as vibration, revealing the depths and metamorphoses of matter. Handcraft thus unfolds within an organic temporality, shaped by repetition, adjustment, and attentiveness, rooted in transmitted savoir-faire.
This logic unfolds through the circular scenography. Color acts as a sensitive thread, linking the works together and extending, throughout the space, the energy of continuous transformation.
Dreaming of a daily design itinerary in Paris with unique experiences hosted in extraordinary venues?
Take part in the Paris Experience! In September 2026, different addresses and events are on the agenda. Join an exclusive tour of an apartment designed by Auguste Perret, a leading reference in modern architecture, discover the Studio-Apartment of Le Corbusier, his living and working space, or take part in the brunch Glustin, a convivial moment in the heart of the Les Puces de Saint-Ouen, ideal for sharing and exchanging ideas around a curated selection of antiques and design pieces, etc. A tailor-made VIP itinerary designed just for you.
From September 10 to 19, Paris Design Week brings the capital to life with major exhibitions and events, as the city’s creative scene moves between leading institutions and showrooms to capture the pulse of contemporary design.
Across the city, historic landmarks and contemporary creatives enter into dialogue: Design sur cour unfolds in open-air settings: Joseph Walsh at the Hôtel de Sully, Anthony Guerrée at the Musée Bourdelle, and the immersive installation Ornamento by Jeremy Pradier-Jeauneau at the Arc de Triomphe.
The journey continues through iconic showrooms, Elitis, Cassina, Lelièvre Paris, before visiting the Studio of Andrée Putman and Pierre Augustin Rose.
The emerging scene takes shape through Paris Design Week Factory, across key venues including Espace Commines, the 116 rue de Turenne, 16 rue des Minimes, featuring new voices such as Tongji University’s Chinese design showcase at 10 rue de Turenne.

MAISON&OBJET PARIS, Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Centre, 10 - 14 September 2026
Driven in 2025 by the new wave of design and vibrant creativity, Maison&Objet Paris opens 2026 under the banner of excellence and savoir-faire.
From January 15 to 19, Maison&Objet will spotlight the creators and companies who, through technical mastery and a contemporary vision embody a new way of inhabiting the world. Here, innovation enters dialogue with tradition, transmission fuels creation, and centuries-old gestures are reimagined through the lens of to-day's creative visions.
Spanning 7 halls and 6 sectors, Maison&Objet unfolds a curated experience through immersive spaces and exclusive scenography. In 2026, the event firmly establishes Paris as the global capital of design and unveils a living showcase where ancestral know-how resonates anew, shaping the design landscape of tomorrow.
For over thirty years, Maison & Objet has cultivated a unique identity: serving as a meeting point between the world of fine craftsmanship and contemporary design. In January 2026, the trade fair returns to its roots with a powerful and inspiring theme.
Design draws strength from its origins to rise even higher. At the crossroads of the raw materials and contemporary form, a calm strength reveals itself. Furniture is no longer a mere series of objects: it becomes an extension of a skill, a gesture, a memory.
What emanates from it goes beyond aesthetics: it's an aura, a breath, a trace of the past carried into the future. Each creation is part of a continuum, a slow and embodied transformation Maison&Objet highlights a design imbued with soul, where every piece of furniture bears the mark of a story in the making.
To delve deeper into this theme, the trend forecasting agency GOODMOODS presents a sensory and forward-looking interpretation through four manifestos that outline possible trajectories for contemporary design.
Metamorphosis: Upcycling becomes a true creative chemistry, where anything can be transformed, recomposed, and enhanced.
Mutation: The fusion of organic materials, ancestral techniques, and technological innovation inspires new forms of hybridization.
Recomposed Baroque: Artisanal craftsmanship revisits the opulence and theatricality of the Baroque with contemporary restraint and unexpected twists.
Neo-Folklore: Patterns, rituals, and local narratives are reimagined through new materials and digital tools.
These four directions enrich the overall vision of this edition enriching the narratives of exhibitions, curated journeys, and the What’s New? presentations. They offer a rich framework for interpreting and guiding creators and brands toward formal, technical, or poetic expressions that echo the theme Past Reveals Future.
With its 6 key sectors and 7 exhibition halls, Maison&Objet is the only trade show to unite all professionals across decoration, design, and the art of living.

Designer of the Year 2026 - Harry Nuriev (Crosby Studios)
This edition honors Harry Nuriev, visionary designer and founder of Crosby Studios, recognized by The New York Times Magazine as one of the pioneering voices of contemporary minimalism. Based between New York and Paris, Harry Nuriev explores the intersection of design, art, and craftsmanship through a singular approach: Transformism. Rather than creating from scratch, he chooses to transform what already exists, giving objects a second life, amplifying their essence and memory.
His prestigious collaborations, from the Mobilier National to the Louvre, from Balenciaga to Baccarat, reflect a transversal perspective and a unique ability to build bridges between institutions, brands, and audiences.
For Maison&Objet 2026, he is designing a new, immersive scenography, conceived as a visual and sensory meditation on the power of design to transform our perception of everyday life.
'Each year, when we select a personality for the Designer of the Year Award, the committee looks for someone who embodies the spirit of the times, someone we believe will leave a lasting mark on design. Harry Nuriev’s work is singular, rooted in the present. His practice lies at the crossroads of art and design, driven by the sensitivity of a designer who questions the overabundance of objects in which we live. A dilemma to which he responds with what he calls his 'Transformism Manifesto'. Harry is also a cosmopolitan creator who has chosen Paris as his home base, following in the footsteps of great figures who enriched the Parisian art and cultural scene. A touch of Diaghilev for the Russian soul, and a bit of Scott Fitzgerald for the extravagance' - Franck Millot, Director of Partnerships and Special Events.
As a scenographer and trend-setter, Elizabeth Leriche presents an immersive and emotionally resonant journey, where each installation highlights the exhibitors’ products while creating a dialogue between past and future.
From Antiquity to Art Deco, from primitive forms to contemporary daring, the exhibition brings to light a shared memory of the decorative arts, reinterpreted to inspire the invention of new aesthetics. Between tradition and experimentation, it reveals how the future of design is always born from the traces left by the past.
A manifesto of contemporary retail, where physical commerce reasserts its power to reinvent itself. Inspired by the theme Past Reveals Future, this installation explores the resonances between tradition and innovation. To work with a material is to enter a temporal conversation, to make resonate what once was, while inscribing what is yet to come. This paleo-futuristic exploration highlights four materials at the very heart of today’s creative expression: stone, wood, glass, and metal, whether in their physical forms or their representations. The journey is conceived as a sensory experience, restoring the point of sale as a living, inspiring space.
Co-founder and artistic director of the PNY restaurant chain, Rudy Guénaire launched Night Flight in 2021, his creative studio dedicated to design and interior architecture. His projects, both narrative and immersive, stand out for their poetic and cinematic quality, inviting audiences to experience something truly unique.
With Suite 2046, Rudy Guénaire reinvented hospitality as a total experience. For Maison&Objet, he will present a room that is rooted in the past, yet futuristic and dreamlike accompanied by a manifesto on the codes of tomorrow’s hospitality. A reflection on the art of bathing will enrich his installation, transforming a daily ritual into a founding ceremony.
Curatio - The Collectible Design Village After a well-received debut in 2025 by both the press and industry professionals, CURATIO, curated by Thomas Haarmann, returns in January 2026 with an expanded format and 60 international participants.
Conceived as a true village, it blends exhibition space with experiential design to offer an immersive journey into the world of collectible design, where each piece reveals the intention and craftsmanship behind the material
Alongside, the CRAFT space continues its mission to spotlight artisans who embody both excellence and experimentation. These creators, positioned at the crossroads of tradition and innovation, enrich the theme Past Reveals Future by demonstrating that an object can also carry memory, gesture, and living legacy.
A new feature of this edition, the Village Manufactures of Excellence will take place at the heart of Signature & Projects. Conceived as a refined setting, it brings together for the first time a unique collective of Living Heritage Companies (EPV), a French government label that recognizes exceptional craftsmanship and rare expertise.
This new space, created with the support of the Excellence Contract network, will host around twenty companies that embody the finest in French artisanal and industrial excellence: master glassmakers, fine cabinetmakers, weavers, upholsterers, plaster artisans, artistic metalworkers, marble workers, and designers of furniture and lighting. Among the confirmed participants: La Maison du Vitrail, Verrerie Biot, Agencement Paul Champs, Tissage de la Lys - Jules Pansu, Eurocave, Dumas Paris, Bronzés de France & Baguès, Horus, Focus Création, and Le Jacquard Français.
Primarily aimed at the 25,000 interior designers and decorators expected at the show, this village offers a deep dive into exceptional trades in the service of hospitality and luxury. A dedicated mini-exhibition, along with a talk on the international reach of these savoir-faire, will complete the program.
In January, Halls 1 & 2 will host the Signature & Projects universes, enhanced by an Eco-Responsible Design Collective that showcases creators’ ability to develop sustainable solutions without compromising on aesthetics.
This space brings together an international selection of manufacturers of eco-designed materials and coverings, intended for interior architecture, decoration, and furniture design.
With this collective, Maison&Objet confirms its leading role in promoting responsible and innovative solutions, serving designers and industry professionals committed to combining aesthetics, innovation, and environmental impact.
Located in Hall 3, Decor & Design, the Outdoor space highlights the design of exterior environments, now recognized as a true extension of the home. Designed as a strategic showcase, it brings together trends and innovations that redefine outdoor living.
Bringing together 50 leading international brands, the offering covers a wide range: furniture, pergolas, lighting, rugs, and accessories, as well as technical and functional solutions tailored to the demands of hospitality, fine dining, high-end residential, and yachting. Each product combines aesthetics, durability, and innovation, with special attention to eco-friendly materials and harmonious integration with the surrounding architecture.

Her designs will be seen throughout the show branding and promotional materials including, website, social media and across the show floor.
A former Decorex Making Spaces artisan, Natasha uses traditional techniques to craft custom interior pieces and fine artworks. Her creations are influenced by global decorative art traditions, with a particular emphasis on Moroccan architectural painting on wood. She honed her skills in this specific form of Moroccan decorative painting through a year-long apprenticeship with a master artist in Fez.
All her pieces are crafted from natural materials, using hand-ground pigments mixed with egg tempera and 24-carat gold leaf. The geometric designs are hand-drawn using a compass and ruler. Natasha’s work includes decorative paintings for interiors, such as panels, murals, and ceiling designs; small decorative objects, such as boxes and lamps; and individual framed paintings and drawings.
This year, Tolu Adẹ̀kọ́ and Adẹ̀kọ́ & Co. are set to unveil Palomino, the showstopping VIP Lounge design at Decorex.

Crafted in collaboration with artisans from London, Paris, Milan, and New York, this project blends historical grandeur with contemporary innovation. It’s a celebration of craftsmanship, where every detail challenges expectations and invites a truly sensory experience.

Decorex, Olympia London, 12-15 October 2025
For the past three decades, Maison&Objet has established itself as the only international event that brings together interior decoration and furniture. Held twice a year in January and September, each of its two shows meets the specific needs of professionals, whether they’re looking for design innovations or decorative inspiration.
The September show is all about what is new, what is constantly updating our relationship with objects and interiors. The January show solidifies Paris’s reputation as a leading center of design expertise and innovation. Together, they form a whole that allows us to inhabit the home, the world, and the present moment—all through the lens of design.
The September edition stands out for its more experimental approach focused on innovation. It highlights young talents, new design practices, and the complementarities between disciplines. To meet the evolving market demands and the expectations of professionals, Maison&Objet is reorganising its September edition: - 6 refined sectors for a smoother experience. - The Design District : a space dedicated to young talents, featuring three programs: Rising Talent Awards Germany, Future On Stage, Maison&Objet Factory, and Accor Design Awards. - WELCOME HOME by Amélie Pichard: an immersive installation where design and craftsmanship meet. - An exclusive program of partnerships and conferences. - Paris Design Week : a celebration of design in motion.
- Cook & Share: A space dedicated to culinary arts and kitchen innovation. - Decor & Design: Decoration in all its forms—the kind that moves, questions, and transforms ideas into objects. - Craft - Art Trades: A tribute to craftsmanship and materials. - Fragrance & Wellness: A world dedicated to well-being and olfactory experiences. - Fashion & Accessories: A space where fashion and design come together. - Gift & Play: A hub of creativity for the gift and toy industry.
The Design District is an observatory of tomorrow’s trends, an incubator of creative energies. In collaboration with Paris Design Week Factory, it celebrates boldness and experimentation, spotlighting young designers.
The new Design District hosts programs dedicated to the new guard. This includes architects, publishers, designers, innovative AI specialists for interior design and architecture, and young decoration brands.
Future On Stage, a springboard dedicated to 3 companies who have been operating for less than 3 years for whom innovation is the driving force. They are ready to sell their products and have been selected by a jury of experts for their excellent applications.
The Rising Talent Awards Germany, shine a spotlight on 7 young emerging designers selected by a prestigious jury.
The Factory by Maison&Objet, which acts as a commercial platform for young, emerging talent spotted during previous editions of Paris Design Week Factory.
Created by Accor in 2016, the Accor Design Awards is a global competition aimed at students in architecture and interior design. The goal is to discover new talents and trends in hotel design, providing students with a platform to showcase their creativity and vision. The awards ceremony will take place in September during the trade show.
To embody this September edition, marked by renewal, Maison&Objet has entrusted its artistic direction to Amélie Pichard. A bold and visionary creator, she has made a name for herself with a distinctive style that blends craftsmanship, a playful reinterpretation of conventions, and a commitment to more responsible fashion.
Amélie Pichard brings an open-minded and eclectic vision of design, breaking free from conventions to offer an approach where objects become manifestos of creativity and independence. Balancing energy and intimacy, this invitation showcases a unique object: a teapot-house, or a house-teapot, still in the making.
The poster, positioned between imagination and reality, symbolizes the dialogue between craftsmanship and artificial intelligence, reflecting the essence of Amélie Pichard’s boundary-breaking vision of home. The result of a collaboration between ceramicist Blumen and AI, this piece questions contemporary creation, the blurring of disciplines, and the materialization of ideas. A suspended sketch, ready to take shape and inhabit the space.
Amélie Pichard is one of fashion’s most subversive and trailblazing minds—unclassifiable and radical. A true researcher in creation, she moves across disciplines, disrupts conventions, and embraces the unexpected, constantly exploring alternatives to how we consume and create. From her iconic bags to her boutiques designed as immersive experiences, she has always seen fashion as a playground where irony and commitment collide. Today, her universe extends far beyond accessories, unfolding in multiple forms—from curating to consulting, from artistic collaborations to reimagining the way we live and create. Free-spirited and uncompromising, she continues to explore territories where aesthetics and meaning intersect, where the unexpected reigns, and where creation becomes a statement.
Amélie Pichard is an avant-garde and unclassifiable designer who has always challenged the conventions of fashion, advocating for a new way of producing and consuming. After making a lasting impact with engaged collaborations, such as her vegan material collection with Pamela Anderson, she is now choosing to explore new forms of creation.
The theme of renewal is at the heart of this edition. What does it evoke for you? I am very sensitive to the world around me, and the last fifteen years have been marked by major upheavals. Instead of clinging to past markers, I’ve chosen to explore new models, follow my instincts, and create my own rules. This dynamic has pushed me to break boundaries in my world by launching Bureau Synthétique, my creative studio, to go where I was least expected.
You embody this bold new generation. What message would you like to convey to young creators? As they say: Be yourself, everyone else is already taken. Today, it’s hard not to compare ourselves to others, especially through social media, but we need to learn to trust ourselves and cultivate our uniqueness.
The September edition highlights the idea of breaking boundaries. How does this notion resonate with your creative approach? I’ve never liked labeling people. When I collaborated with Pamela Anderson, I was suddenly presented as a vegan designer, even though I wasn’t. The collection was, but not me. I’ve always wanted to give people the freedom to choose. Breaking down barriers is also about this: breaking preconceived boxes and creating bridges. I love combining tradition and innovation, craftsmanship and new technologies, as I did with Maison&Objet by integrating artificial intelligence into the creation process of the fair’s poster.
Was there a particular object that inspired you to design the fair’s poster? Can you tell us its story? Last October, while visiting an exhibition, I had a real crush on a ceramic piece. I immediately contacted its creator on Instagram to congratulate her and have a chat. When Maison&Objet entrusted me with designing the poster, I wanted to use that object as a starting point. However, it had already been sold... Instead of giving up, we turned to artificial intelligence to create a new version, in the style of an exquisite corpse. The goal was to show that tradition and innovation are not incompatible, but complementary.
The poster for this edition plays with the concept of a double reading with “amelie pichard invites you to come to the show.” Can you tell us more about this message and the artistic direction that inspired it? There are multiple interpretations of this poster, with several important pieces of information. I’ve always liked the slightly old-fashioned nature of the phrase “I invite you to the living room,” which you hear in many families after a meal. So I wanted to play with that double meaning once again. As for “This is not (yet) a teapot,” to follow through with the concept, Blumen, the ceramist who created this piece, will reinterpret the AI work and make this teapot for the fair in September, and it will be auctioned at the show. In the meantime, “I invite you to come to the show… Maison&Objet.”
Partnerships Spaces dedicated to tomorrow’s creators, in partnership with: - A fashion school – in the Fashion & Accessories sector: showcasing young, incubated brands. - Incubators – in the Cook & Share and Gift & Play sectors: brands in crowdfunding will present their projects.
The Talks Around twenty conferences will punctuate this edition, highlighting new talents and creative flourishing. Among the key highlights: - Opening talk with Amélie Pichard. - Roundtable on design between past and future with Edgar Jayet and Sceners Gallery. - Discussions with the winners and jury of the Rising Talent Awards Germany.
MAISON&OBJET PARIS, Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Centre, 4-8 September 2025
From 16 to 20 January, Paris will host the unmissable Maison&Objet fair, a landmark event for interior design and decoration professionals. This year’s theme, “Sur/Reality,” challenges attendees to explore a fascinating space where imagination and creativity transcend the boundaries of the everyday. For members of the Society of British & International Interior Design (SBID), the fair offers a unique opportunity to discover bold inspirations, groundbreaking designs, and innovative concepts shaping the future of the industry.
The theme of Sur/Reality sets the tone for an exploration of the unexpected, blending the fantastical with the functional. Designs that play with illusion, reinterpret forms, and transform materials invite visitors to reimagine spaces as dreamlike yet tangible. This approach speaks to a collective desire to escape monotony, creating environments that evoke wonder, provoke thought, and foster emotional connections.
Among the many highlights of this edition is the recognition of Faye Toogood as Designer of the Year. A celebrated British talent, Toogood is renowned for her multidisciplinary approach, which bridges design, art, and architecture. Her installation, “Womanifesto,” serves as a powerful exploration of the Sur/Reality theme. Combining her unique creative voice with the broader dialogue around the role of women in design, “Womanifesto” celebrates the fusion of artistry and activism, offering a deeply personal yet universal commentary on how the surreal can shape reality.
Another key feature of the fair is the Women & Design programme, an initiative dedicated to spotlighting the achievements and perspectives of women in the design world. Through keynote talks, panels, and networking sessions, the programme fosters meaningful conversations about gender equity, diversity, and the transformative impact of women’s contributions to the industry. For SBID members, these sessions provide valuable insights and inspiration to engage with inclusivity and innovation in their own practices.
With over 3,000 exhibitors, Maison&Objet presents an extraordinary platform to explore cutting-edge designs and connect with a global network of creators, manufacturers, and visionaries. From surreal installations to practical workshops, the event is rich with opportunities to expand horizons and spark fresh ideas.
Beyond the halls of the Parc des Expositions in Villepinte, Paris itself extends the surreal experience. The city’s vibrant galleries, exhibitions, and pop-up events offer a complementary journey through art and design, making this January edition a fully immersive adventure.
Maison&Objet is more than a trade show; it is a celebration of creativity, a platform for dialogue, and a springboard for innovation. For SBID members, the combination of Sur/Reality, Faye Toogood’s visionary “Womanifesto,” and the empowering Women & Design programme makes this edition an unmissable opportunity to redefine what’s possible in interior design.
MAISON&OBJET PARIS, Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Centre, 16-20 January 2025
HIX LDN – Europe’s leading hotel design event – is back for 2024 with more of the best hotel interior experiences. Bringing the hospitality design community together for two days of networking, talks, installations, and an exhibition of over 160 leading interior design brands, HIX is a true celebration of everything that makes hotels incredible.
Last year, HIX welcomed 4,280 guests to London’s Business Design Centre, including architects, designers, operators, developers, investors, project managers, specifiers and more. Gathering the entire hotel supply chain under one roof, HIX returns on 27 & 28 November with new spaces, new experiences, a new theme, and a newly expanded exhibition of the latest interior products.
The theme for this year’s HIX, ‘a sense of place’, explores the unique connections that exist between a hotel and the area it serves – be that a specific building, a neighbourhood, a district or an entire city. As guests seek out increasingly authentic localised experiences, tapping into these connections has become a key marker of both commercial and cultural success. As such, designers have been tasked with facilitating organic, sustainable relationships with close-knit surrounding communities.
Every element of the HIX 2024 programme will be guided by this idea; from the topics up for debate on the HIX Talks stage and the form of the event’s signature HIX installation, to the soundtrack and menus at one of the many industry networking receptions.
Featuring a curated selection of over 160 cutting-edge design brands, the HIX show floor represents the best of the bathroom, surface, technology, furnishing and fabric sectors – a one stop shop with everything you need to bring the guest experience to life. This year’s line-up includes returning HIX favourites like GROHE, Laufen, Roca, Hansgrohe, Chelsom, Duxiana, Hypnos and Muuto along new members of the HIX exhibitor community like Cane-line, Woodio, Pablo Designs, Frandsen and Bensen. Elsewhere, back for a third year, Collection is HIX’s expo-within-an-expo comprising a micro-edit of 30 European labels presenting exclusive new products, while the all-new Gallery Hall adds 30 new stands and activation areas served by their own programme of content.
How is the rise of responsible tourism changing hotel design? Is hotel F&B the key to unlocking an authentic local experience? Will hotels evolve to be more like homes? HIX Talks asks the big hotel design questions with a lineup of the industry’s brightest minds. This year’s speakers include Marriott, IHG, Hilton, Accor, AvroKO, Nomadic Escapes, Luxury Frontiers, Squire & Partners, Holloway Li, Studio Lost, Richmond International and more.
Running parallel, a newly launched series of breakout talks curated by HIX partners Design Anthology UK, Festival of Hospitality and Studio Skov will complement the main programme with discussions centred around branding, investment and the future of travel. Taking place on the new Gallery Stage, these breakout sessions include panels, presentations and intimate one-on-one chats with the people and perspectives shaping the future of hotel design.
Each year, HIX collaborates with leading hotel designers to create immersive installations that push the boundaries of the hospitality experience. In 2022, HIX worked with WeWantMore and organic material artist Côme Di Meglio to develop the world’s first mycelium bar, whilst 2023 upped the stakes with a pair of spaces by Blacksheep and MIXD that showcased two distinct ‘rooms with a point of view’.
This year, under the guiding mantra of ‘a sense of place’, the signature HIX installation will mark the event’s largest and most ambitious project yet. Partnering with four leading hospitality design studios in Purcell, 3Stories, Atellior and 4Corners Design, this year’s project sees the team reimagine Islington’s iconic Business Design Centre as a hospitality experience.
Presented as a large-scale multimedia gallery within a space by set designers Cloud & Horse, each vision draws from a deep-dive historical report on the building and local area by heritage consultants Historic Productions, and celebrates the power of locality, community and heritage in hotel design.
