“Excuse My French”: 2019 Inspiration Theme for Maison et Objet
For each session of Maison et Objet, NellyRodi analyses the latest consumer trends and sociological phenomena and encapsulates them in a theme. The topic chosen for January 2019 may have a humorous note to it: “Excuse My French!” but, it looks very seriously at a re-emergence of the country of Molière on the international scene. For him, the movement is linked to globalization: “In a world where things are becoming standardized, people are looking for something different”. And where better to celebrate that than at M&O, the Parisian trade show par excellence? Foreign visitors will be given the opportunity to discover new French brands and designers, while others will better understand how to take full advantage of the Made in France phenomenon.
The country has long been a reference worldwide for the arts, fashion, design and lifestyle. For many, it is quite simply the epitome of elegance. Think Catherine Deneuve or the Château de Versailles! Clichés aside, Grégoire pinpoints a number of factors responsible for the country’s newfound resurgence. Leading the way are a whole host of smaller companies – Petites Maisons, who reinterpret traditional savoir-faire with product lines characterized by a spirit of invention and exclusivity. A “nouvelle vague” of creatives open to multicultural influences have also emerged. They shake up traditional French chic by injecting inspirations from elsewhere in a new mood of fusion and mix ‘n’ match.
All of these threads will be brought together in January at the Trend Forum, a 250 sq. m space in Hall 7 that will present a selection of products embodying the essence of the new French scene. Its theatrical décor will be inspired by the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles, but with a little impertinence à la française mixed in. A small truck where you will be able to find the trend mook for sale will be parked in the middle of it and a number of contemporary items will deliberately contrast with the classical setting.
Maison et Objet Presents Sebastian Herkner: Designer of The Year
At 37, German designer Sebastian Herkner, who trained at Offenbach University of Art and Design, is embarking on an ever-growing number of collaborations with international design houses and over the course of the past decade has received some thirty awards in recognition of his innovative yet traditional work.
