The new edition of Maison&Objet, organized from January 19 to 23, has the theme “Take Care”. Discover the main lines of the program.
An edition that wants to do good
“To imagine our themes, we always start with a study of society. As soon as we put our nose outside, we are confronted with cultural, environmental and identity-related issues,” explains Vincent Grégoire. “Take Care” is the theme that was chosen for this edition, focusing on care. The dominant theme of this edition is to refocus on oneself and others, to meet, exchange and experiment. The show wants to echo new modes of creation and meaningful initiatives concerning the professions of design and interior decoration. Each day, a program of talks will address, among other things, creation without fossil fuels, sensory design, the concept of hospitality, innovative creative paths, retail scenography…
