Autumn tendencies at the Maison et Objet

What: Autumn tendencies at the Maison et Objet
Where: Paris, France

Black and white is coming in: here at Versmissen, which, with man-made wall sculptures, drew the visitors’ attention to this stand

Finally, it was time again: My favorite interior trade fair – the “Maison et Objet” in Paris – presented the interior trends for the upcoming autumn-winter season to the expert audience for five days. I must tell you honestly that after this long-running rainy summer I am far from being receptive to the cold season. I would rather be thinking about new garden furniture for my country house than to write about warming materials and the new autumn colors.

At the Maison et Objet, international exhibitors present the new living trends in eight halls on 130,000 square meters

The good news is that as soon as I enter the exhibition grounds with the endless halls and the seemingly thousands of exhibitors, I immerse myself in the world of goods offered to me. The offer makes it easy for you to adjust to the cold season – which I couldn’t change anyway. So: bye bye summer and welcome autumn. For example with a candle in the spicy scent “Cidre” by the Irish manufacturer Max Benjamin. With this I choose a cuddly plaid in wool or cashmere from Elvang from Denmark, sprawl myself in Tibetan lambskin pillows by the Dutch brand “Lifestyle Home”. I arrange the whole thing on a dark green velvet sofa, as I have seen it at Versmissen. Sounds cozy, doesn’t it?

Europe’s largest interior trade fair did not have much new features. For the coming season, the exhibitors are relying on already established materials such as velvet, brass, fur

With a few accessories and handgrips, the new season can be perfectly staged in your own home. It is not necessary to replace the complete equipment. I love walking through the forest, collecting chestnuts, acorns, moss-covered branches and gold-colored leaves, and making a small arrangement with them. Simple ingredients – great effect. And indeed: I now enjoy the change of the seasons, rejoice in the soothing colors and think: Autumn can come. BvH

I like this ensemble of glass flacons in browns and blues alot – seen at Pols Potten

Loving the floral patterns on the lampshades – they remind me of paintings of old masters

Yellow is the new trend …

… very nice in combination with black …

… seen at Asiatides

So retro – so chic: The pineapple lamp foot by Asiatides makes the 1950s resurrect

The chandelier is reinterpreted: Instead of a large candelabrum, many individual (and gladly also different) lampshades merge into an illuminating eye-catcher

A blue and white peacock chair: très chic!

Funny decoration idea: Fully loaded minibus with baskets and suitcases made of bast

Again popular in the lamp segment: porcelain shades in nostalgic shapes like here at Bobo Boom

Light up!

Trendy glass lamps in round shapes …

… for example these ones by the Polish brand Schwung, are still in trend

The new romantic – I like it!

Spookily beautiful: An almost floating bust made of spring-like tulle under a glass bell

Living in industrial style is still very much in demand. But where put the bicycle? Here is the solution!

One of the major interior brands is Eichholtz from the Netherlands. Eichholtz has recognized the retro trend and has revived the 50s and 60s with ice cube containers in pineapple form …

… couch tables with ears bunch-shaped feet …

… dainty armchairs in a bamboo look …

… lamps made of bronze-colored palm fronds in brass, a material that is gaining importance

Florida feeling with mouth-blown retro lamp feet: Sometimes in bright colors …

… or in elegant nude tones

Portugal has been an interesting market for innovative furniture design for a number of years, such as the Mambo label …

… which incorporates Portugal’s famous tiles in its furniture design

Almost a sculpture, which in any case takes a lot of space: Sink from an XXL natural stone

Nature – a wonderful, inexpensive supplier for autumn decorations

The photographic wallpaper – here as a light installation – is experiencing a comeback as here at Flamant

Autumn leaves in a different experience: the wall lamp is made of bronze and glass

Are they real? Yes, though no more alive: Stuffed flamingos as decoration objects

Miami style by Jonathan Adler

Autumn can come with this cozy leather sofa from “Lifestyle”, fur plaids and cuddly pillows in the colors of autumn: cognac brown, fir green and granite gray. Beautiful accessories such as the candle holders made of brass

Lush Gobelin pillows by the Spanish manufacturer Becara

Beautiful items for the laid table in autumn nuances

The interior scene is based on the color palette of the fashion industry with the just-hottest bordeaux, green and berry tones

The latest Interior Trends from Paris

Birgit von Heintze — Sun, 05 Feb 2017 13:18:14 +0000

What: Maison et Objet, Interior Fair
Where: Paris, Frankreich

Summer can come with colorful tableware from Pols Potten

Twice a year the interior fair ‘Maison et Objet’ in Paris opens its gates for the expert audience: The M&O is the platform for thousands of international buyers, interior designers, architects, shopkeepers and lifestyle journalists who flood the fairground with its eight exhibition halls. Even though the mood in September 2016 was rather dampened due to the terrorist attacks in France, the response to the show this spring is a lot stronger and brighter.

Colorful pillow parade! Cotton pillows by Van Verre

For many years I visit the Maison et Objet and I do that always with great enthusiasm, as it is the most diverse and informative exhibition of its kind. While the ‘Salone del Mobile’ in Milano showcases large design brands of the furniture industry, the Maison et Objet shows all areas of living, decorations and furniture designs, home accessories, textiles, fragrances, the world of the child, tableware. Every time I ask myself how the exhibitors and designers create a new motto, a pioneering theme, within a period of less than six months.

No longer so fluttery, but still beautifully colorful – butterflies under a glass hood

A challenge that has to be faced by the fashion industry as well. Both industries benefit from the seasons and the associated materials and colors. But convincing customers to buy a new sofa or new tableware requires another, in my opinion, greater persuasiveness of the seller and the needs of the customer than buying a new dress or a bikini.

Green is still very trendy

The good news: color green – which I already discovered on the last Maison & Objet as a trend – remains. Videlicet in all its nuances, from delicate lime green to bright petrol to elegant fir green. For spring and summer 2017, the industry has yet another motto: Color, color, more color. The whole Maison et Objet presented itself in a single color noise. What could be more beautiful during this gray season? BvH

The colorful world of the French company Asiatides

Chic: Black and yellow play of colors

Very popular are velvet sofas

I really like those brass door handles in the form of parrots and trees. Handwork from India

For (luxury) children: retro plane as (day) bed from Magical Furniture

Rosé-colored velvet sofa by Bruccs in front of matching flamingo wallpaper. So retro, so cool!

Color, color and more color: carpets of Italian Seletti

Classic wicker sofa by Gervasoni in front of a cute flower wall

Green, green, green

I love the green glasses. They make you want to spend some summer holidays

Outdoor furniture by Missoni homecollection

Colorful ceramic beetles as a decorative element at the Portuguese designer Mambo

A petrol-colored sofa as an eye-catcher on the stand of the Dutch manufacturer Versmissen

Color by nature: multicolored fowl

Different shades of orange by Versmissen

The Jonathan Adler collection is always good for a colorful surprise

Brit-Chic by Jonathan Adler

The whole Maison et Objet presented itself in a single color noise …

… as here at the booth of Fancy

Each glass is unique: glass art by the Italian designer Carlo Moretti

Trash or art? Armchair for friends of stuffed animal formations and for fans of extravagant living designs: Flamingo chair of the Belgian label AP …

… Also available in the variants wild boar …

… penguin …

… bunny …

… and swan

Color, color and more color

The product range at Maison et Objet includes not only decorations and furniture designs but also home accessories, textiles, fragrances, the world of the child …

… and tableware. This one is from Lifestyle homecollection

If you do not have enough books, you can now stick them on. Wallpaper on the stand of Venetia Studium

Lampshades made of peacock feathers: How wonderful is that?

Also an installation idea: chandeliers at a branch

Original: This iron table was made from an old oil drum

In last September there has been a noticeable drop in visitor numbers: 40% fewer trade visitors than in the comparative months of the previous years. There hasn’t been a trace of this in January 2017

African Delights

After so many popping colors here’s something soothing for the eyes: art from Africa

The Spanish Fernando Otero specialized in art from Africa: colorful wedding hats from Namibia …

… wooden masks from the Ivory Coast …

From the Congo: former seat mats for guests, today a decorative wall decoration

… bronze heads from Benin. Ethno-Chic is always ‘in’

Maison et Objet – It greens so green

Birgit von Heintze — Sun, 11 Sep 2016 08:04:15 +0000

What: Maison et Objet, Interior Fair
Where: Paris

Trendscout MyStylery on tour: Looking for the latest interior trends at the interior fair Maison et Objet

Since many years I visit one of the most impressive – if not the most interesting – Fair for Interior and Housing, the Maison et Objet in Paris. On many thousands of square meters more than 1,000 exhibitors in eight halls are presented twice a year – in January and in September – the international audience with the latest interior design trends. A mega show, a must for all interior designers, architects and lifestyle experts and my seasonal highlight, to which I look forward to in advance. However, this fall the exhibition was below my expectations.

In Hall 5A young artists present their creative ideas under the motto “Craft Métiers D’Art”

Of course, everyone knows that the wheel cannot be invented again. But similar to the development in fashion, one also hopes in the world of living, at least for a new vision or an inspiration. The result of my over two days extending on-site investigation, I summarize as follows: There is not much new.

Love these lamps made of pressed glass, which look like a glass creations from Murano in Italy

Trend 1:

Peacock Thrones – I looove these extravagant wicker chairs, which admittedly – due to their expansive dimensions – take a lot of place. So retro, so chic! And hardly any of the top exhibitors, that did not have any of these opulent armchairs in the program in his autumn – winter collection.

Peacock chairs by Asiatides

Trend 2:

The color green – whether as glass or tableware, wallpaper, sofa cover or lamp stand: No one at the Maison et Objet missed out on green. The color palette included all the nuances: From soft lime green to juicy fir green. Actually a color palette, which I would have expected more in the spring. But I was glad to have ever spotted a trend. I will not complain. The Maison et Objet will probably never lose its charm for me. This is already guaranteed by the location in Paris, one of my favorite cities, that already accounts for only the stimulus, to visit the Maison et Objet.

The wall candle holder with porcelain parrot competes with green-antiqued glass tiles

Interesting:

Polite reservation and reduced minimalism seem to belong more to the past in these times of social and political change. I mostly came across lush exuberance in the form of bright brass, satin and silk. Even copper is still one of the favorite materials. The cottage-chic is more than ever socially acceptable, which I can only be glad off, with my little renovation project in Brandenburg. The theme country style and natural materials were served almost perfectly. Interestingly, by manufacturers of different nations. That has something connecting, right? BvH

Lush home accessories infront of a mirrored wall

Beautiful arrangement of antique books, natural stone and wood

New romantic: Angels as lamp holders

This king crab is a true giant with a leg span of 180 centimeters and twelve kilos. A monster version that is supposedly 100 years old and has a premium price of 12.400 Euros

A real novelty and the only one of all exhibitors: heavy, opulent Wilhelminian furniture at the stand of Objets des Curiosité

Opulent retro style

Peacock Thrones at Maison et Objet

Colorful bird on Peacock Throne. This one is from Versmissen …

… and this model is from Nkuku …

… and this is from Zenza with 50s floor lamp in shape of palm trees

The Maison et Objet devoted an entire hall to the subject Ethnic Chic

Lovely chairs by Andrew Martin in pandas look. So sweet!

Many exhibitors showed corals, gemstones and fossils as a new decoration idea

It greens so green

Green jungle at Pols Potten

Beautiful green bottles from Brucs

How about a bar in green? This is from Cravt

Eichholtz combines white furniture and green wallpaper

Jonathan Adler also papered his stand in green

Not to deny: The cold season is coming! But the opulent interior design is more an expression of the current social change

Remember this song? My clothes are all green, green, green, everything I have is all green. That’s why I love everything green, because my beloved is a hunter

These autumn shades look very cozy

Retro Style

Still hip: palm trees …

… and pineapple motifs continue to enjoy great popularity

Please pack everything – I take it!

Countryside Style

I’m trying to see the best in everything and therefore hit pay dirt with my trend search. Completely in love with this Belgian linen!

Great idea: Jute-related wire racks become original lampshades – made by Sempre
