More than 51,000 visitors attended the homewares, decor and lifestyle fair which showcased over 2,000 brands and 626 new exhibitors, a record number for this show.
The September fair was divided into six key sectors including Cook & Share; Decor & Design; Craft⏤métiers d’art; Fragrance & Wellness; Fashion & Accessories and Gift & Play.
“In a complex economic context, both in France and in key strategic markets such as Germany, India and the United States, which are now facing new trade barriers, Maison&Objet and Paris Design Week have managed to stand out,” says Philippe Delhomme, president of the executive board (Maison&Objet, Paris Design Week & MOM).
This edition, under the banner of renewal, saw creator Amélie Pichard lead an out-of-the-box reflection on the evolution of our lifestyles with Welcome Home, a showcase set up as a living room with products that complemented the fair’s six categories.
Held exclusively in September, the Cook & Share sector set the table around the theme of beauty. Lifestyle enthusiasts discovered the latest trends in hospitality, while the Gourmet area showcased culinary creations and savoir-faire.
Both emerging and established brands crafted a tailor-made menu designed to awaken the senses featuring leading names in cutlery, cookware and gourmet decoration.
In Hall 4, the Factory by Émergence space highlighted the new generation of tableware. Supported by the Confédération des Arts de la Table and Francéclat, this initiative enabled young brands to present innovative collections which focus on new ways of living.
“By injecting innovation, energy, creativity and a touch of the exceptional, we have provided professionals, both distributors and specifiers, with the opportunity to discover new offerings and generate real business momentum.”
Finally, the Cook & Share Rendez-Vous by la Filière France, organised in partnership with Synetam and the Confédération des Arts de la Table, was all about promoting conversation with round tables and talks.
“While caution might seem the logical approach, we have instead witnessed a strong determination among industry players to stay proactive and continue investing. A powerful and hopeful signal for the entire sector,” Delhomme adds.
“The repositioning of our sectors Decor & Design, Gift & Play, Fragrance & Wellness, Cook & Share and Fashion & Accessories has clarified the reading of the offer and shone a spotlight on a new generation of brands. In the Design District, a new wave of young designers brought a breath of fresh air and boldness.
“And let’s not forget Craft⏤métiers d’art, which continues to celebrate and promote artisanal craftsmanship with strength and singularity. Finally, with Paris Design Week, the entire city of Paris resonated with design. Established brands opened their doors, multiplying unique experiences and reaffirming the capital’s role as a key stage for contemporary creation.”
In January (15-19 January 2026) the focus of Maison&Objet will be on excellence, savoir-faire and French elegance.
