Maison & Objet 2026: The art of reinventing heritage

Every year, Maison & Objet transforms Paris into a true global hub for design, interior decoration, and lifestyle. From January 15 to 19, 2026, the Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Center hosted this unmissable event where brands, specifiers, and creatives from around the world come together.

Under the theme "Past reveals future," this edition offered a particularly inspiring interpretation of contemporary design: returning to roots, craftsmanship, and historical references to better imagine the shapes, materials, and uses of tomorrow. An invitation to rethink living spaces with depth, meaning, and creativity.

But Maison & Objet is more than just a product exhibition. The fair functions as a global platform for inspiration and business, bringing together over 2,300 international brands spread across several thematic halls: furniture, lighting, accessories, textiles, fragrance, lifestyle; offering a panoramic view of industry trends.

Beyond the stands, the rich program of conferences, workshops, and trend presentations allows professionals to anticipate market developments and fuel their thinking. In parallel, Maison & Objet In The City extends the experience into the heart of Paris, through a B-to-B journey connecting showrooms, galleries, and architecture studios.

During these few days, Paris becomes more than a cultural capital: it becomes the world capital of design, punctuated by encounters, discoveries, and exchanges that shape tomorrow's aesthetics.

What stands out most when walking through the aisles is the succession of completely different atmospheres. You move from one universe to another in just a few meters, with the sensation of traveling through materials, styles, and cultures.

This edition also featured nearly 500 new brands, bringing a particularly stimulating creative breath and confirming the fair's role as a talent revealer.

Beneath a series of woven rattan pendant lights, the Sika-Design stand exuded an immediately soothing atmosphere. Natural materials, the light lines of the furniture, and warm lighting composed a space where you wanted to linger.

At Gardeco, two monumental objects immediately caught the eye. Presented like works in a gallery, these textured volumes with deep hues asserted an almost artistic presence in the space.

Finally, in a dark and architectural setting, the Les Jardins stand showcased contemporary lanterns that stood out with their warm light, highlighting all the elegance and technicality of outdoor lighting.

Through these atmospheres, we understand that Maison & Objet is not just a professional trade fair, but a true sensory experience, a continuous source of inspiration for imagining the interiors and exteriors of tomorrow.

Eichholtz – Dutch Luxury at Maison & Objet

Among the many exhibitors present at Maison & Objet, Eichholtz holds a special place for lovers of luxury, elegance, and high-end furniture.

Founded in 1992 by Theo Eichholtz, the Dutch brand was built around a very personal vision: bringing back rare pieces and international inspirations from travels and transforming them into a coherent, rich, and immediately recognizable aesthetic universe. Now recognized worldwide, Eichholtz offers a wide range of furniture, lighting, and accessories where each creation seems designed as an architectural element.

The Eichholtz style is often described as glamorous, sophisticated, and universally adaptable: revisited classic pieces, noble materials, refined lines, and a sensitivity that is both contemporary and historical. From luxury residential interiors to prestigious hotels around the world, its aesthetic integrates everywhere with the same visual strength.

Present at the fair with a particularly inspiring stand, the brand uses Maison & Objet Paris as a strategic platform to unveil its new products, meet interior designers, architects, and international distributors, and above all demonstrate its craftsmanship through true staging.

Two creations particularly caught the eye at the stand.

The Greyson XL Chandelier stood out as a true luminous sculpture. Composed of alabaster plates suspended in cascade around a brass structure, it diffused a warm and enveloping light, transforming lighting into ambiance. This piece, at the crossroads of Art Deco and contemporary design, literally structured the space.

Nearby, the Carleton Bar Stool with Back revealed another facet of the Eichholtz style. Its sculptural brass base combined with fabric featuring strong graphic patterns created a sophisticated contrast between metallic brilliance and textile texture. The enveloping backrest and generous seat reminded us that aesthetics never comes at the expense of comfort.

Theatrical atmospheres: the art of telling an interior story

What struck most at the stand was not just the quality of the objects, but the way they conversed with each other.

A hammered metal console with architectural lines, accompanied by brass lanterns casting warm light in front of an animal-print rug, created a masterfully controlled play of contrasts between textures, golden reflections, and deep blacks.

Further along, a black bookcase adorned with decorative studs framed an elegant display of books and objects. In front of it, zebra-patterned seats energized the whole, perfectly illustrating the measured boldness characteristic of the brand.

Atmosphere 2:

The living room space revealed a more serene atmosphere: a large light-colored sofa placed in front of a textured wall with golden reflections, accompanied by a hammered metal coffee table that echoed the formal vocabulary of the console. Lamps, accessories, and carefully chosen books reinforced this impression of total harmony.

What Eichholtz demonstrates at Maison & Objet is a rare mastery: the ability to create complete universes.

You don't simply look at furniture.

You immediately project yourself into an interior.
