Who exhibits

Typical profile

The official website organises its offering into universes, two of which are specific to a single session: Cook & Share in September and Signature & Projects in January. The others are shared by both sessions: Craft - Métiers d'art, Decor & Design, Fashion & Accessories, Fragrance & Wellness, Gift & Play. The In The City initiative is also linked to the January session.

The event covers the entire value chain of the home and the art of living: decoration, furniture, lighting, tableware, textiles, home fragrance, gift and jewellery. A balanced mix of French heritage houses (crystal, porcelain, art furniture), international contemporary design publishers, emerging young designers and craft artisans showcased via the Craft sector run by Ateliers d'Art de France.

Since 2026, the official website has referred to the autumn session as Maison&Objet Pulse. The specialist trade press reports that the winter session is in turn named Maison&Objet Premier, a name that does not appear on the official website pages consulted on 21 September 2026.

Iconic brands (January 2026 edition)

The 15 to 19 January 2026 edition notably featured:

Events and community

The programme for the January 2027 session has not been published: at the time of writing, the official website's "Le programme" page still shows the September 2026 edition. The formats described below are those of past sessions, dated accordingly.

Designer of the Year and curatorial theme

The most closely followed distinction on the design press side, the Designer of the Year 2026 went to Harry Nuriev, founder of Crosby Studios (New York), announced in an official press release on 2 October 2025 for the 15 to 19 January 2026 edition. "Transformism" manifesto. The curatorial theme for that same edition, "Past Reveals Future", was developed across 4 manifestos structuring the scenography and product selections: Metamorphosis, Mutation, Revisited Baroque, Neo-Folklore.

The September 2026 session had its own theme, "Pulse in Motion", embodied across seven immersive sectors, with the Masquespacio studio (Ana Milena Hernandez and Christophe Penasse) as ambassador and poster designer. No Designer of the Year 2027 or January 2027 theme appeared on the official website at the time of writing.

The Talks

Conferences, talks and cross-perspectives bringing together designers, publishers, journalists and international experts. A recurring format across both sessions, with recordings available in the official website's replay section. The January 2026 programme comprised 25 conferences over 5 days, focused on the influences of French design in the United States, AI applied to culture and creation, the evolution of premium retail and new forms of residential hospitality.

Village Manufactures d'Excellence and Pet Square

• Village Manufactures d'Excellence: created for the January 2026 edition at the heart of the Signature & Projects sector, it brought together around twenty Entreprises du Patrimoine Vivant (glassmakers, cabinetmakers, weavers, upholsterers, plasterers, ironworkers, marble workers, furniture and lighting publishers).
• Pet Square: also launched in January 2026, this space dedicated to the premium pet world returned in September 2026 within the Gift & Play sector.

Institutional partners and ecosystem

How much it costs to exhibit

Exhibitor rates are not published publicly. Quotes on request from SAFI via the application form on the Exposer page, which distinguishes between a first-time application entry point, a dedicated entry for craft artisans, and direct access to customer service for returning exhibitors. The organising legal entity is SAFI SALONS, a SARL registered at 8 rue Chaptal, 75009 Paris.

Several packages traditionally coexist: bare stand (floor space rental only), turnkey equipped stand, packages for young brands and emerging designers, notably via the Craft hub of Ateliers d'Art de France. Placement by universe determines the rate per m². The official website's exhibitor FAQ covers instalment payment, financial support, group stands and premium zones, without publishing figures.

Figures not publicly available to date.

Preparing your visit

• 6 months out: finalise the stand according to the chosen package, brief the contractor, plan MOM communications (digital platform listing).
• 3 months out: team accreditations, press content, scheduling of meetings with international influencers.
• 6 weeks out: activate the partner network, specialist decoration and design press, plan of pre-scheduled visits with priority buyers.

For the decision-maker visitor

• Online pre-registration via the "Obtenir un badge" entry point on the official website, ahead of opening.
• 5-day trade fair: allow at least 2 to 3 days to cover the full range of universes.
• Identify in advance the highlights and curatorial selections published by the organiser for the relevant session, as the programme changes from one session to the next.
• Digital complement: the MOM platform extends the trade fair 365 days a year for sourcing between editions.

Policy and CSR initiatives

Maison&Objet applies an "eco-green" charter built around three pillars: sustainable sourcing, "less is more" (producing better with less by reducing, reusing and recycling), and respect for people and the environment. On this basis, a jury of five independent experts awards the Sustainable label to the most committed brands.

For its Sustainable initiative, the official website features a single Sustainable trail, around 150 brands certified 100% eco-responsible, 96% of signage printed on eco-responsible materials, 7 partners working on eco-design, and 42 tonnes of materials recovered for upcycling. Guided tours of the trail, led by the founder of the sustainable interior design school, were offered by registration during the September 2026 session.

The operational partners listed by the organiser are Carbon Saver (eco-design of fit-out projects), Eco Impact (impact analysis of furnishing products), EDID (sustainable interior design school), Les Canaux (association backed by the City of Paris, focused on the local, social, solidarity-based and circular economy), Emmaüs Défi (integration and solidarity activities), Fab City Grand Paris (network of circular-economy and urban-resilience players) and Re'up (circular economy applied to events).

This CSR line is consistent with the positioning of the Craft hub and the Ateliers d'Art de France anchorage, which embrace a heritage-focused, low-carbon approach to fine craftsmanship.

The trade fair's evolution

Trajectory analysis

Maison&Objet was born in 1995 from the merger of six Parisian trade fairs (Paas, Moving, Tex'styles, Mic, Scènes d'Intérieur, Parallèles), with a first edition of 1,250 exhibitors and 38,000 visitors, run by Blenheim (the future Reed Expositions) and the Ateliers d'Art de France via SAFI. More than thirty years later, the trade fair shows roughly three times as many exhibitors and nearly double the audience at its winter session, with 67,300 visitors in January 2026. The dual governance of Ateliers d'Art de France + RX France remains structuring: it combines a fine-craftsmanship hub with strong French legitimacy and the international reach of a global trade fair operator.

The recent sequence has been one of renewal. The appointment of Vincent Lhoste as chief executive officer of SAFI in January 2026 was followed, in September 2026, by the launch of a new brand identity and the name Maison&Objet Pulse for the autumn session, positioned around emerging and experimental design, while the specialist trade press links the name Maison&Objet Premier to the January session, with a prestige positioning built on excellence and savoir-faire. The two-session complementary framework has established itself as the reference for the decoration-design sector, backed by a MOM digital platform that covers 365 days of B2B activity and celebrated its tenth anniversary in September 2026.

The January 2026 edition set the tone for this refocus on excellence and savoir-faire, with the "Past Reveals Future" theme, the choice of Harry Nuriev as Designer of the Year, and the creation of the Village Manufactures d'Excellence. The next milestone is the session from 14 to 18 January 2027, whose theme and programme had not been published at the time of writing.
