The Fair

Maison&Objet is the unmissable event for fostering connections between buyers, sellers, and lovers of beautiful objects. Each year, the fair strengthens the bonds between over 6,000 brands and creators, around 300,000 international buyers, 1,500 journalists, and more than 2 million visitors, notably through its digital platform, MOM. Maison&Objet tracks sector developments, explores new trends, and provides key insights through its interactive spaces, conferences, and workshops.

In a constantly evolving field like decoration and design, the MOM digital platform, the unique venues of Paris Design Week, the exclusive showrooms of Maison&Objet In The City, as well as its social media channels and newsletters, create a rich environment of discoveries and surprises. Maison&Objet highlights creators, whether they are emerging talents or well-established names, by sharing the stories of the people behind each concept and product.

Every season, the fair offers an opportunity to discover those shaping the design world of tomorrow.

Every year, Maison&Objet organizes two major events, making Paris an international stage for design. The September session coincides with Paris Design Week, a festival that brings a wave of creative energy to Parisian neighborhoods for 10 days. Professionals and the knowledgeable public meet through a series of inspiring exhibitions and events.

In January, the fair hosts Maison&Objet In The City, a unique B2B event that connects the fair to the 100 most prestigious decoration locations in Paris, facilitating tailored exchanges for professionals.
