Maison et Objet, Paris, January 2009
Next week brings the launch of the January ‘09 Maison et Objet trade show. It showcases anything and everything that is new and gorgeous for interiors.
This is THE show for anyone involved in the interiors industry. It can take years to be accepted as an exhibitor at Maison et Objet and as a result there is literally nothing that isn’t fantastic there – all the horrible/ ugly/ useless stuff has been weedled out.
I find it so inspiring to see so many new and amazing products, including many British companies and artisans. One example is Fiona Gall, one of my favourite British artists. It was a pleasure to see Fiona of Emerald Faerie at Maison et Objet last year. She makes very pretty and whimsical creations, such as this ‘Butterfly Umbrella’ chandelier:
There is everything to be found at Maison et Object – from chocolate-flavoured tea, to squishy sofas and all the things you put on a sofa, to a fully equipped Kitchen Aid kitchen! I hope I will be able to exhibit at Maison et Objet one day soon – but in the meantime I will be a very happy visitor. Wish me ‘bonne chance’!
And if you’re not able to make it to glamorous Paris next week, there are some other great trade shows closer to home this month. Here are some that I am attending.
Top Drawer runs from 18-20th January 2009 in London and showcases the very best new products. Again, a great trade show where only really fantastic products are exhibited, no junk to wade through, yay!
Interiors Birmingham runs from 18-21st January 2009, in Birmingham. This is the UK’s largest interiors event and covers the whole spectrum for interiors from high-end to mass-market.
