Value novelties at Maison&Objet Paris September 2016

A leading event for lifestyle professionals around the world, MAISON&OBJET PARIS shows a comprehensive product offering twice a year, at the Paris-Nord Villepinte Convention Centre. This September, MAISON&OBJET PARIS evolves once more to provide: Visitors with an ever more enriching, easy and efficient experience; and Exhibitors with cross-industry environments, in order to bring them greater visibility and lead them towards new markets.

With each show, this major hub for the lifestyle industry attracts some 70,000 visitors and more than 3,000 brands from around the world.

MAISON&OBJET PARIS is both an inspirational and business-oriented crossroads, where professionals can meet and share their experience and ideas. It showcases a high-end selection of products and presents a comprehensive overview of excellence and innovation.

100% INTERIOR DECORATION

Our interiors are made here. The MAISON section is inspired by decoration: furniture and small accent pieces, lighting and fabrics, familiar and foreign styles intermingle elegantly to the delight of even the most demanding visitors.

FROM THE MOST USEFUL TO THE MOST TRIVIAL—IT's ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL!

Objects in all shapes and sizes. From smart gadgets to kitchen utensils, from perfume to fashion accessories, the little and distinctive additions that enrich our interiors, making them unique and welcoming.

FROM THE UNIQUE TO THE BESPOKE MAISON&OBJET PARIS's

Location for prestige and uniqueness. Creativity, innovation and technical solutions come together to create a temple of design and luxury lifestyle, unique in its genre reaching out to specifiers and buyers from all around the world.

For this new show, the organisers have focused their attention on improving the four main qualities that have made the event what it is today:

1. A redistribution of the textile offering, taking even further the idea of integrating textile exhibitors into the different decor atmospheres featured in the Maison hub, with a grouping of exhibitors in two areas of Halls 4 and 5A.

2. A partial overhaul of the floor plan for the very rich Objet hub, with the convergence of complementary environments COOK+DESIGN and EASY LIVING in Halls 5A and 6, new circulation routes offering greater comfort for visitors and the relocation of the Espace Retail, a space dedicated to the discussion of challenges faced by retail stores, to the heart of Hall 6.

- COOK+DESIGN (Halls 5A and 6): The kitchen has become a playground for creativity. A place of sharing and innovation, where you will find new lifestyle concepts for the table, the kitchen and fine dining. Indulge and enjoy!

- EASY LIVING (Hall 6): All of the small accents that pep up our interiors. A cornucopia of fun, colourful and graphical objects that pop up all over our homes to make our lives easier.- KIDS (Hall 6): Children's design is a world in itself, profuse and inspiring: Furniture, textile and accessory designers pour their imagination and their hearts into their creations.- FASHION (Hall 6): Fashionable objects, obviously. Handbags, jewellery, scarves, clothes and much more: stylish accessories to mix and match. A place where fashion and decor merge.- BELOVED (Hall 6): A selection of trendy, smart and fun must-haves for the tech-oriented. The best place to find your very own decor or fashion signature.
