Last week, I booked an extended weekend trip to visit the gorgeous city of Paris and attend the world renowned MAISON&OBJET trade fair. This popular event ran from Sept 8th – 12th and covers current and upcoming trends in home styling and décor, interior design and accompanied lifestyle improvements.
One main objective for those in this highly competitive industry is creating new connections between different international designers and the retail community. It has become an important European design exchange platform, which is perfect for buyers like myself. The literal translation of MAISON&OBJET is “House & Object” which perfectly summarises this show . It has been described as “among the three most important European events for interior design.”
So it is considered quite a big deal in my line of work!
This year the show attracted an estimated 64,000 professional visitors and featured more than 3,000 exhibiting brands from 64 different countries. It is a great opportunity for visitors to learn comprehensive information on these latest trends and products in the industry.
I have always been obsessed with interior design and am always on the lookout for new and beautiful things that inspire me. I took many pictures during the duration of my visit and would love to share some of my favourite finds with all my steemian friends.
Waking up at 5am as I took the 7am Eurostar train from St. Pancras to Gare du Nord in Paris. Two and a half hour later, I was in Paris.
September weather in Paris can be unpredictable at best. It could be very sunny, then within an hour raining and cold. So, wrapping up nice and warm, I quickly dropped off my luggage in the hotel and was on the way to the northern suburbs of Paris Villepont Exhibition Centre (Paris-Nord Villepinte) where the show was taking place.
Upon arrival, MAISON&OBJET was absolutely enormous. There were eight halls in total and they are as follows:
Hall 1 (Electric), Hall 2 (Cosy); Hall 3 & 4 (Elegant); Hall 5A (Complements); Hall 5B (Actuel); Hall 6 (Home & Fashion Accessories)and Hall 7 (Now! Design À Vivre).
Each hall was approximately the size of several full-size football fields! Imagine the time needed to check out all eight of them, lol.
The sprawling exhibition hall covered all the main bases, from stylish ornamental home furnishings to high-end interior products. The fair also highlighted new techniques and materials used in production as well as some cool colour trends.
There were so many beautiful creations to see.
MAISON&OBJET provided for a great inspiration to me and my career. I managed to find some amazing products, finishes and ideas. A visit to this incredible fair comes highly recommended if this is your thing and is well worth a visit.
Thank you for joining me on this splendid day out. "Au revoir" for now! :)
上周末我去了一趟法国巴黎参加世界闻名的国际家居装饰展 MAISON&OBJET。展会从9月8日直到12日，为期5天时间。巴黎家居装饰展最大的魅力在于它总能即时展现国际装饰届的最新动态以及时尚潮流趋势。
作为欧洲三大家饰家具展之一，专业设计人士，买手与艺术家，总是会来到此地收集最新的室内设计流行趋势，使得这个展会成为欧洲重要的设计交流平台，对于像我一样的买手，这是不可错过的盛会。
今年的展会吸引了大约64,000名专业观众，并展出了来自64个不同国家的3000多个参展品牌。 对于所有专业人士来说，MAISON&OBJET不仅仅是一个设计风格的展示台，也是商业贸易的交流地，引领全球流行趋势的焦点。
我一直喜欢室内设计，总是寻找新颖有创意的商品。 我在展会拍了很多照片，并希望与我的steemian朋友分享。
我凌晨5点醒来，赶到伦敦中心St. Pancras车站坐上了7点钟的火车。两个多小时后我就到达了巴黎Gare Du Nord站。去酒店放下行李后，我就启程去展会。
MAISON&OBJET 展馆在巴黎北郊维尔班特展览中心（Paris-Nord Villepinte）。展场非常大，分为八个展馆，分别为 Hall 1 Electric, Hall 2 Cosy, Hall 3 & 4 Elegant, Hall 5A Complements, Hall 5B Actuel, Hall 6 Home & Fashion Accessories 和 Hall 7 Now! Design A Vivre.
每个展馆有如几个足球场般大小，想像一下要走完8个展馆，是十分累人的事情！幸亏我主要看6号馆礼品那部分，呵呵。
展馆内商品淋漓满目，新颖精致，件件我都可以感受到工匠创作时的用心与精巧技术。以下一些照片与大家分享一下，希望你们喜欢。
MAISON&OBJET展现了最前沿的流行趋势资讯，为我带来了很多新产品的灵感。对这方面有兴趣的朋友， 我会推荐这个展会。

Wonderful Stuff @rea. This is best visit for the people who like interior. I was too busy since last 3 months, So I missed this awesome trade fair. Anyways you shared the details in very professional way. Pictures are taken perfectly and presentation in this blog shows your level of taste in this regard.

Awesome post @rea, loved the way you have shown your whole travel. As an artist I also dream to travel there some day.
Thanks, @preeti. I appreciate you stopping by and also hope you have a chance to make it to this awesome show.
That looks like a blast. What surprises me about this show in Paris is how many signs are in English! And are those little things that look like mints actually facial wipes?
It certainly was, @geke. The show attracted visotord from a host of nations, many of which were predominantly English speaking. That was quite convenient for me, lol! And I also loved the "facial wipe" packaging too, very uniquely designed.
Thank you, @geke.
Very interesting!
really happy to found another cool blogger from china, waiting for more cool stuff... :)
