We never miss the spectacular Maison & Objet exhibition, and this year was no exception. Since 1995, the International Fair of Lifestyle, Decorations and Design opens the door to a design paradise. It is a luxury event for professionals looking for a unique design solution to attract and retain clientele. Taking place on an area covering 115,000 square meters, it presents 3,000 brands and draws in approximately 90,000 visitors annually.
Maison has a different outlook on work! The exhibition set up a section that serves as a laboratory for expressing today's new art of work. You can sit down in an office chair here and feel like in your own living room.
Our relationship to work as completely different to what it once had been. Work is undergoing social changes, digitization makes us more mobile and frees us from traditional work environments. Common areas are being created, offering a more pleasant and interactive way of working. In the age of social media and extreme individualism, employees are taking ownership of their work space and adapting it to suit their needs. This event is committed to giving workspace more personality, so as to make it more friendly, comfortable and creative, thereby helping companies attract and retain talented employees.
The fair is attracting more and more visitors from the ranks of professionals in the field of hotels and restaurants. These public spaces represent an environment that allows experimentation, both in terms of minimalism and maximism. François Delclaux finds a connection between these two extremes and uses it to emphasize the rebirth of tableware.
Walking past the exposition of this luxury New York brand of luminaires, you simply have to stop by. And you immediately realize you need one of these pieces at home.
