MAISON&OBJET : Welcome Home

A must-attend event of the season, Maison&Objet opened its doors on September 4 for five days at the Parc des Expositions. The Peclers Paris Environments & Design teams explored the celebrated fair to capture the pulse of the new season.

Complementing its January edition, the September show places sharper focus on our relationship with objects and interiors, offering a more curated selection. The event also strengthens ties with Paris Design Week, shining a spotlight on rising talents and emerging brands.

To embody this September’s theme of renewal, Maison&Objet entrusted artistic direction to designer Amélie Pichard. At the forefront: a “house-teapot” with playful, almost childlike ceramic contours, created through a collaboration between ceramist Blumen and AI. This whimsical object embodies an open, unbounded home and symbolizes the dialogue between craftsmanship and artificial intelligence.

• Welcome Home by Amélie Pichard

Guided by an eclectic and boundary-breaking vision of design, the creator steps away from conventions and clichés to imagine an immersive installation for this edition, aptly titled WELCOME HOME. A true manifesto of openness and a celebration of simplicity, the stripped-back, conceptual scenography captures the idea of a home in constant motion—where design and craftsmanship intertwine with a playful touch of humor.

• Design District: a new creative incubator buzzing with energy.

Another highlight of this season is the launch of Design District, a space dedicated to the next generation of designers. Created in collaboration with Paris Design Week Factory and shaped by the artistic vision of the Hall Haus collective, the area celebrates boldness and experimentation. It showcases emerging talent through initiatives such as Future On Stage, the Rising Talent Awards, and Maison&Objet Factory. A true observatory of tomorrow’s trends, it echoed and validated the Spring–Summer 2027 directions identified in Peclers Paris’ Environments & Design trend book.

• “Daily Life,” a Peclers Paris theme from our Spring–Summer 2027 Environments & Design trend book, comes to life through collections that reimagine functionality with a sense of freshness and lightness

Tired of the cult of performance, we are learning once again to value simple gestures. This shift gives rise to a new way of imagining space—more attentive, more porous, more emotional. Design no longer separates function from feeling, but brings them together, infusing even the most ordinary uses with softness, conviviality, and pleasure.

This fresh interpretation of daily life was reflected in several Maison&Objet exhibitors. Here are some of our team’s highlights:

(1) Duplex

Duplex unveiled its latest eco-designed furniture collections, crafted entirely from industrial waste. A circular, responsible approach that makes no compromise on aesthetics—featuring rounded volumes and a bold, graphic palette that instantly caught the Peclers Paris eye.

(2) Studio OE

Founded by Lisa Ertel and Anne-Sophie Oberkrome, Studio Œ is a Berlin-based design practice. Driven by a fascination with the intrinsic qualities of materials and the poetry of everyday phenomena, they create works that tell unconventional stories. We were especially taken with their latest collection—both functional and sensitive—where industrial lines meet narrative poetry with striking elegance.

(3) Hall Haus

Founded by Abdoulaye Niang, Sammy Bernoussi, Teddy Sanches, and Zakari Boukhari, Hall Haus has established itself as a key player in contemporary French design. Their innovative, sustainable approach blends culture, experience, and functionality.

(4) Fabricario

Cabinetmaker and designer Julien Vicario debuts his first wooden seating collection under his brand Fabricario a tribute to his family heritage. The Bernardo armchair, with its rounded lines and pared-down structure, offers a contemporary, confident take on craftsmanship that instantly won us over.

(5) Haus Otto

Haus Otto is a duo of artists and designers who explore the environmental impact and contemporary context of design, transforming everyday objects with a playful touch. The oversized Zooom lounge rug and the AL13 indoor/outdoor bent-metal chair reinterpret industrial design codes with a sense of whimsy.

(6) Moritz Walter

Berlin-based industrial designer Moritz Walterfocuses on clear, accessible objects designed for everyday use. We were particularly drawn to his Hotspot project, which explores decentralized heating solutions—a family of innovative products featuring mobile heat-storage units that can be adjusted to suit changing needs.

(7) Hilo

Winner of Future On Stage, Adeline Michelotti has developed a modular, drill-free furnishing solution. Her ingenious tension-based fastening mechanism (gas pistons) combines agility, innovation, and sustainability.

• ‘Sensibility’, another theme from the Spring–Summer 2027 Environments & Design trend book, places emotion at the heart of creation.

After years of technological urbanism and hyperconnectivity, a form of emotional sobriety is emerging. Heritage brands are revisiting their legacy, blending it with contemporary narratives that are more intimate and sensory.

A new vision of romanticism is taking shape, reflected in offbeat collections that play with traditional codes—sometimes with spontaneity, sometimes with subtlety. Here are a few of our favorite highlights in images.

(1) Teun Zwets X Maison Deux

Maison Deux teamed up with Dutch designer Teun Zwets for an exclusive, bold textile collection. Known for his raw aesthetic and spontaneous approach to design, Teun brings an arty touch to the Maison Deux universe, creating a delightfully playful and nostalgic bedroom scenography.

(2) Lucie Sotty

Lucie Sotty is a ceramicist based between Hyères and Berlin. She places great emphasis on the painterly quality of her work, applying glazes by hand so each surface becomes a living canvas. At the intersection of art and craftsmanship, her highly sensitive pieces are designed to evoke joy and lightness.

(3) ENSEMBLE

Ensemble, a family-run home linen studio, breathes new life into dormant materials sourced in France and upcycled locally. Their delicate patchwork work gives each piece a distinct identity, carrying a story full of sensitivity.

(4) Sophie Lou Jacobsen

Sophie Lou Jacobsen, a French-American designer based in New York, focuses on everyday objects, primarily working with glass to explore the poetic interaction between object and user. Her work has resulted in a delicate, sensitive tableware collection, rooted in the idea that objects have an innate ability to enhance their users’ mood through both form and function.

(5) Ofumum

A new exhibitor in the Fragrances & Wellness section, the collective of ceramicists and perfumers Ofumum collaborate to create a seasonal, limited-edition perfume collection. Their sculptural packaging, inspired by antique aesthetics, invites a sensory and poetic journey through time.

(6) Julie Mallet Studio

Julie Mallet Studio offers sensitive objects and sculptural lighting that combine innovative production techniques, a vintage aesthetic, and bio-based materials. This delicate hybrid approach gently reinvents the codes of 3D printing.
