"There's something about trendspotting in France that just hits differently. Maybe it's the Haussmannian architecture, which provides such a charming backdrop that you almost don't even notice you're literally running from showroom to showroom. Or maybe it's the fact that some of the brands on display truly are new - and in some cases, not even available stateside yet. Whatever the reason, I look forward to Maison&Objet and Paris Déco Off, two furniture- and textile-forward events in Paris, each January."
"Walking these shows is a great way to kick off the year, as so many design-forward companies exhibit at this time. And trust me - the mass market is watching. This year I also had the chance to check out Shoppe Object Paris, a favorite New York City-based show of mine, which made its French debut as part of another trade show, Who's Next."
"As part of the pendulum swing back towards maximalism, people are loving the glamour of it all. This time around, though, silhouettes are a little more modern, and I'm seeing a little bit more of a natural influence mixed in with the geometric rigor of classic Deco.Case in point? Designer Corey Damen Jenkins' beautiful lighting collection for Eichholz, which included these feather-look chandeliers."
Maison&Objet and Paris Déco Off take place in January and showcase furniture- and textile-forward design. Shoppe Object Paris made a French debut within Who's Next, highlighting New York–based exhibitors. Showrooms, convention centers, and Paris streets served as inspiration sources for upcoming motifs, colors, and ideas. Art Deco from the 1920s–1930s is experiencing a renaissance, with maximalist glamour returning alongside more modern silhouettes and natural influences blended into geometric Deco forms. Designer Corey Damen Jenkins created feather-look chandeliers for Eichholz that combine bird-influenced shapes with decadent glass and glitz. Lime green emerged as a strong color trend.
