Maison & Objet: Where Design’s Past Meets Future

January 15 – 19, 2026 • Paris, France

Each winter, Paris becomes a crossroads for the design world with Maison & Objet, the influential international trade fair that brings together the best of interiors, decor, lifestyle, and creative innovation. The January 2026 edition returns under the theme “Past Reveals Future,” celebrating how heritage and craftsmanship guide contemporary design.

Taking place at the Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Centre, Maison & Objet gathers thousands of brands and designers from around the world, offering trend forecasts, cutting-edge product showcases, and dialogues between tradition and innovation.

A new Parisian extension of the fair — Maison & Objet In The City — also invites professionals and artists into a curated city circuit (January 14–19), connecting top galleries, showrooms, and craftspeople in unique collaborative programs. This initiative amplifies Paris’s role not just as a host for trade, but as a living gallery of design excellence.

Whether you’re a collector, creative professional, or tastemaker, Maison & Objet remains a key cultural magnet early each year — where conversations about sustainability, aesthetics, and lifestyle future trends take real shape.
