Talents So French! (Hall 7)
After a successful initiative in September 2022, Talents So French is back to support the profiles of emerging designers in France who are embarking on the adventure of self-producing. This economic model is still not widespread in Europe.

Talents So French!

Innovative vision, creative process, and inspiring collaborations meet the emerging talents that make the essence of the French touch: Cédric Breisacher, Elise Fouin, Grégory Lacoua, and Victoria Wilmotte.

HAUTE FACTURE in partnership with the French furniture industry (Hall 7)
Finally, we are able to observe French excellence in a group presentation!

HAUTE FACTURE

16 French luxury companies with exceptional know-how present original furniture, lighting, and objects, combining haute couture craftsmanship and French creativity.

Like a fashion week catwalk inspired by the 1970s, the “Haute Facture – Haute Fréquence” exhibition, under the artistic direction of Martin Pietri & Pierre Gonalons, honors the excellence of these brands where the craftsmanship is reinvented to offer creations with new finishes and inspiring designs..

What’s New? (Halls 2,4,7)
Discover the 2023 best-sellers of the year 2023 – Trends by François Bernard, François Delclaux and Elisabeth Leriche
Three spaces with three themes, with a selection of new products or flagship products aligned with the trend and the theme of the season, “TAKE CARE”, brilliantly orchestrated by our trend hunters.

François Bernard interprets this theme through the power of original materials to anchor us in a positive sensory experience with his “Grounded” space (Hall 4). François Delclaux takes us on a journey in his night train, a symbol of “Slow Hospitality” (Hall 2), as a refuge from the acceleration of the world. With “In The Air” (Hall 7), Elizabeth Leriche invites us to take a breath. Her vision of care in a world where ecological and climatic risks set the tone is that of a light-hearted but fully conscious and eco-responsible parenthesis.

Laurence Carr Inc x Confederation of Danish Industry presents “Circularity in Action”
Curated by Laurence Carr, designer and Maison&Objet ambassador, “Circularity in Action” highlights Danish furniture brands and their innovative approach to circular design in an immersive, artistic and playful exhibition.

The world of Jean-Charles de Castelbajac (Hall 7)
“I see my multifaceted work as an archipelago, each project is an island with its own personality, linked to the others by the ocean of my style. I like to explore the DNA of the French brands I collaborate with. My artistic gesture inhabited by colors and meaning breathes into the know-how another dimension inhabited by history, mingled with modernity, creating a hybrid element, poetic and transformed, characteristic of my universe.”

The world of Jean-Charles de Castelbajac
