Paris offers an unparalleled experience for design enthusiasts with its rich tapestry of workshops, showrooms, and galleries that highlight the city's mastery of decorative arts. Maison&Objet In The City provides exclusive access to over 100 must-visit locations, offering a comprehensive glimpse into contemporary craftsmanship and innovative design. From neighbourhood to neighbourhood, the journey reveals a harmonious blend of expertise, passion, and artistic vision, all underscored by the essence of French style.
On the Left Bank, Rue Madame welcomes Victoria Wilmotte's first showroom, where her architectural flair is on display through the Concav collection, crafted in her Parisian workshop on quai des Célestins. Meanwhile, Aurélien Jeauneau and Jérémie Pradier have expanded their presence with a second space on Rue de Verneuil, presenting contemporary furnishings by Isabelle Stanislas and Axel Chay alongside curated vintage pieces and artworks. Nearby, Pierre Augustin Rose debuts a new location on Rue Bonaparte, while Rimadesio establishes its expansive French flagship on Avenue Rapp. Across the Seine, Garnier & Linker showcase their latest creations, featuring rare Japanese Urushi lacquer, in a stylish apartment near the Grands Boulevards.
Maison&Objet also shines a spotlight on women in design, celebrating their creativity and influence in the decor world. Last September, Mélanie Leroy, the Managing Director of Maison&Objet, launched Women&Design, an international network for women in the design industry. British designer Faye Toogood, named Designer of the Year for 2025, exemplifies this initiative. Galerie owner Marie-Bérangère Gosserez will collaborate with Amélie Maison d'Art for a special exhibition, while Marie Daâge, renowned for her porcelain creations, will showcase her work alongside her daughters. Sisters Virginie and Karine Glustin bring their shared sensibilities to their gallery dedicated to collectible designs from the 20th and 21st centuries. As they assert, it's not about gender but about style.
Collectible design takes centre stage in Paris, where rare and innovative pieces are crafted in limited editions. At Pradier-Jeauneau, artisans produce exceptional works that have even been selected for the Mobilier National. Axel Chay's bold creations will feature in the "l'audace" exhibition. Theorème, situated in the Jardins du Palais Royal, introduces modular sofas inspired by the Achille armchair, while Galerie Signé presents lighting by Julie Richoz and designs by Marie & Alexandre. Scène-Ouverte elevates design to art with a group exhibit themed around the moon, and at Christie's, Mathieu Lehanneur offers bespoke chairs crafted with their owner's initials, transforming each piece into a family heirloom.
Paris also showcases its mastery of traditional craftsmanship, with artisans elevating their skills to an art form. The rebirth of Notre Dame has highlighted France's expertise in heritage restoration. Maison Rinck, practising fine woodwork and inlays for over 180 years, exemplifies this tradition. Lison de Caunes continues her family's legacy with intricate straw inlays, combining them with mother-of-pearl and embroidered embellishments in collaboration with Lucie Touré. Painter Pierre Bonnefille explores the interplay of metallic hues with aquatic-inspired tones in his "Deep Waters" series, where monumental works such as "Copper Lake" evoke serene landscapes from around the world.
The Place des Victoires in the first arrondissement has become a hub for haute décor and artisanal excellence. Near Rue du Mail, Philippe Hurel collaborates with Signature Murale to present exceptional furnishings by Pierre Gonalons and others, complemented by decorative finishes crafted from metal varnishes and powdered stone. On Rue Coquillère, Anne Jacquemin-Sablon partners with artist Vadime Garine to reinterpret gold-leaf iconography on screens and mirrors inspired by natural textures. Pierre Augustin Rose unveils new designs at their Rue Herold headquarters, while Galerie Poesism on Rue d'Aboukir debuts the second instalment of Dorothée Delaye's Vivant collection. Tai Ping Rugs honours the artistry of George Nakashima with its Nakashima collection, and Tikamoon collaborates with Charlotte Juillard to create a furniture line inspired by the architecture of the Paris Opéra.
