About a week ago, in Paris Design Week, Maison et Object celebrated their 30 years with the theme "Tech Eden", alligning technology with nature, looking for a better and innovated future.
This event, distinguished by its diversity and inspiration, provided a true sensory experience, reaffirming the enduring importance we attribute to the concept of home, comfort and innovation.
Taking into account the main theme, various issues were addressed, such as the commitment to sustainability, where exhibitors showcased their products using recycled and ecological materials, thus emphasizing sustainable design. There was a greater emphasis on honoring handicrafts, contrasting with the minimalist trends of the past. The fair celebrated the beauty of handmade crafts. Exhibitors displayed a variety of handmade products, from handmade ceramics to woven textiles and unique pieces of furniture and lighting. This reverence for craftsmanship brought a sense of authenticity and originality to the exhibition spaces.
Emerging trends in the world of interior design were explored, highlighting biophilic design, such as spaces tending to integrate natural elements to create a greater connection with nature and calm surroundings. Another trend will be multifunctional furniture, making spaces more efficient, and finally, the search for personalized products, where clients can express their preferences and even personality through the art of design.
MATHIEU LEHANNEUR, DESIGNER OF THE YEAR 2024
Mathieu Lehanneur, a French designer, is known for his innovative and creative work, which combines technology, aesthetics, and functionality. He has received numerous awards, including the Red Dot Design Award, the IF Design Award, and the Wallpaper* Design Award.
This year, Lehanneur was the featured designer at Maison & Object Paris, the world's leading trade fair for home and lifestyle. His presentation, entitled "The Future of Home," explored emerging interior design trends such as sustainability, artisanal craftsmanship, and biophilic design.
Lehanneur presented a number of new products and projects in his presentation, such as a chair made of plywood that can be folded and unfolded to save space; a ceramic pot that is made from recycled clay and is designed to grow plants; and a lamp that is made of paper and is inspired by the shape of a tree. They show the designer's commitment to innovation and to creating spaces that are beautiful, functional, and sustainable. His work is helping to shape the future of interior design.
As the world continues to evolve, it is clear that the home will remain a central part of our lives, and Maison&Object Paris will continue to be a leading platform for exploring the future of home design. Excited to see what Maison & Object will bring next year!
