To the great displeasure of the amateurs, this show was exclusively dedicated to professionals, not to change. But to their great pleasure, the media were able to attend and report on the experience. Maison et Objet in January 2023, it was thus 2337 brands represented internationally of which 996 were French and 1341 foreign in a space of nearly 110 000m2, enough for those who want to explore the subject in its entirety. During this event, new trends are discussed and impactful business is done.
Slight slowdown and impact of digitalisation
Everything in its own time. Even if the event was slightly below the pre-covid attendance rate, this fourth post-pandemic event saw more globalisation. 20% fewer visitors than before the pandemic but 44% foreigners this year. A melting pot of know-how that we saw mixed with small creators as well as illustrious French institutions. Having overcome the pandemic, brands were forced to reinvent themselves and are now catalogued at MOM (Maison et Objet and More), a virtual show.
What’s new in this first 2023 edition
Goodbye days of turning inward, this edition opens its doors to a future that is more concerned about the environment in which it is immersed. Take Care takes on its full meaning through the eyes of Vincent Grégoire of the NellyRodi agency, a specialist in the study of consumers and their environment. Take Care aims to be protective and benevolent towards nature, heritage and knowledge. Slow culture is becoming a must this year, as part of sustainable production. So craftsmanship is king in 2023.
Goodbye bland spaces! We want colour, volume and boldness! Scandinavian decor is definitely taking a hit, as bright, flamboyant designs are taking their place alongside sleek decor. Raspberry red was celebrated this year in the “What’s New?” spaces dedicated to discovery, always in an eco-friendly vein. Janvier 2023 is taking on new colours while remaining responsible.
