Maison&Objet September 2009
Paris, the City of Lights did her best this season to tell the world that design is alive and well and living in the collective conscious of the worlds creative minds and manufacturers.
The halls at Maison were filled with illuminating and innovative product displays.
A global sigh was almost palpable in reaction to the spirit and creativity across all category’s that energized established brands and first time exhibitors.
Color trends went hand in hand with fabrications and material usage.
A prevalence for grey tonalities continued. Black and white with pops of red energized
both soft and hard goods. Berry tones captured the textile categories.
Neutrals were influenced by rustic woods, and natural fiber shades of hemp flax and linen.
A smokey sunset palette, colored glass and carpet collections.
