Reporting from the Paris exhibition of the Maison & Objet decor: selected, weighed and evaluated

Following our first report from the famousexhibitions, where there were a lot of Instagram impressions and filming with mobile phones, we invite you to plunge into the world of Parisian decor thoughtfully and thoroughly. In our article, you will get acquainted with 29 brands - trendsetters in home decor. Great can be seen from a distance - our editorial staff agreed and decided to make the second part thorough and practical. So, the Parisian exhibition of home decor Maison & Objet was successfully held from 22 to 26 January. Sometimes there was a shower outside the windows, sometimes the sun was shining, but in nine pavilions (5A and 5B we counted as two different pavilions) of the main European decor salon it was warm, cozy and festive every day. 150,000 visitors were satisfied. Even the two-tiered security check and, as a result, decent queues at the entrance did not spoil the mood. And in order not to confuse the story about vases, ottomans, carpets, armchairs and sofas, we have sorted everything out by brand. Our choice (including those we mentioned in the first reportage) fell on 32 brands. There were about 3,000 participants in total. This means that our eyes chose only a little over 1% of them. One of the brightest stands of the exhibition wasMissoni Home exposition with new collections of textiles, carpets, mirrors, ceramics and furniture. In the near future there will be an interview of our editor-in-chief with Rosita Missoni - the founder of the fashion house. In the meantime, enjoy the beauties. Go past Gianfranco Ferre Home was easyIt is impossible: a conservative style of furniture, exclusive "costume" upholstery. The entire house collection is made at the Jumbo Collection factory. A world-famous producer of crystal -Lalique - this year did not focus on vases and plastic, but on the elements that the factory makes for furniture. If you really want to integrate into your project Lalique, you can order at the factory even the nameplates on the chairs. This factory architects and designers are veryesteem. The luminaires produced by SigmaL2 have a recognizable style, close to Art Deco. And the factory for the designer's project makes models of all sizes. Though the chandeliers are five meters high. Uveis Heydarov, "Kitchen interiors":- Maison & Objet is truly a diverse exhibition. Furniture, decor, textiles, paints, porcelain, fragrances and home decorations, even the futuristic Fazioli grand piano by designer Philippe Gendre - everything looks very attractive. I liked the unusual Serip lamps and, of course, the home collections of famous fashion houses such as Missoni, Gianfranco Ferre and Etro. The romantic story of the formation of the Missoni brand, which I overheard during Rosita Missoni's interview with the editor-in-chief of the magazine, touched me especially. The amount of warmth, soul and awe put into each collection by this family makes the Missoni brand even more attractive and closer to the concept of “home comfort”. For connoisseurs of well-known brands, this is a great opportunity to decorate your home with items of your favorite brand, which has a history, impeccable quality and recognizable style. The source of inspiration for the designers of the Serip factory is nature: drops of water, icicles, stalactites, leaves, tree branches, shells - the forms are read literally at first glance. And how good they are, their lamps! Would you like to have such a nursery? This is the Portuguese manufacturer of Circu. The companies are only a year old, but they have fantastic collections of children's furniture. In the literal sense of the word. From the porcelain factory Fürstenberg,existing since 1747, we were expecting new products, but, rather, in the field of forms and decor, and not in the field of technology. However, they were wrong. The exhibition showed an exceptionally beautiful collection in a minimalist style, the main feature of which was technological innovation. All items of the collection Omnia are made of double-layer porcelain, which has a thermal capacity. That is, a bowl of hot soup will feel cold to the touch, and a cup of ice-cold drink will have the same room temperature. And of course, the dishes and drinks in this bowl retain their temperature longer. Terrific. Read more in the near future in our interview with the creators of this miracle. At the Sophie Villepique booth every year, "gold andpearls ": unusual dishes and table decoration items, decorated with stones, rhinestones and gilding. We did not remain indifferent. By the way, the items of this brand are successfully sold in Moscow. At the stand Etro Home Collection was beautiful everything! No comments. Famous English paints manufacturer Farrow& Ball introduced its new collection. Honestly, if before the editorial board there was a question of choosing a light color from this new collection, we would choose several days. There are a lot of shades and everything is just super. Munna - a stand to which the folk path did not grow, including Russian designers every now and again came here. The Portuguese art nouveau is beautifully executed. Once the boutique of this brand was located onGreat Dorogomilovskaya. Tiny and mimicious. The boutique closed, but the love remained. Cyrus Company does not change itself: all the same luxurious combination of white and gold in a variety of textured designs. For many Maison & Objet regulars, visitAsiatides stand became an obligatory part of the program. Eastern style here is very subtly interpreted, and all the collections are designed, of course, for the taste of Europeans, who are attracted to this most mysterious East. Found a new brand for themselves - Thierry Vide. Now the company produces luminaires from perforated metal, which look like interiors as sculptural compositions. This is not accidental: the founder of the brand is a well-known urban sculptor in France, who for 40 years created art objects for cities around the world. Another cult French brand - Cote Table. This year the pavilion, stylized as a winter garden, made the greatest furore. Although the decor of the table in pink and purple tones was also popular. In France there are factories about which very few people know. At the same time, their furniture is surrounded by castles and palaces. One of these factories is Ehalt. According to its owner, most masters like to work in historical styles that existed before the Napoleonic era. It is in them you can show all the skill of cabinetmakers, which the company is so proud of. Read detailed interview in the near future. But the stand of fashion brand Dialma Brown,grown up from the famous Italian company Marchi Group. On the products of Dialma Brown that designers, that customers go crazy about the same way as by Eichholtz. The phenomenon of such love - in a verified assortment of eclectic furniture and accessories. Almost everything becomes a bestseller. Richmond Interiors - good, high-quality and stylish furniture. It is popular among Europeans and Russians. The editors especially recommend the sofas. The cult French brand - Mis En Demeure - makes furniture very artistic and memorable. Another Belgian brand offering a fullthe concept of the interior, from furniture to accessories - Dome Deco. Color combinations are bright and conservative at the same time. And the furniture is more suitable for those who want to create an interior for a decade. The stand of the French company Koziel attractedthe attention of a large number of designers. The wall-paper was so realistic that I wanted to photograph and photograph this unusual exposition. In addition to art wallpapers, there were also artistically painted panels. The designer's dream. The Dutch brand Braxton Home Collection showed very cozy collections. The stand of Cravt Original can be called"The editor's choice". We really like how they mix textures, colors, material and styles. Here you can see anything: a chandelier made of natural rock crystal, a vase clad with python skin, a bureau with gauche decoration, a table with a mosaic of semi-precious stones. In a word, for treasures and rarities - here! Unusually calm and seasoned style was at this time at Roberto Cavalli Home. Gray, purple and black colors turned out to be a very good brand. Another opening of the exhibition was the Dolly standarchitect Oksana Lychagina, where the author presented a collection of unique plates and decorative panels. Collections aroused great interest among Europeans. A detailed interview will be in the near future. One of the most luxurious stands with furniture inhistorical styles was the famous French brand Moissonnier. The style of "boudoir", where the bordeaux so exquisitely combines with black, and the furniture is intentionally slightly reduced for more coziness, looked here simply incomparable. At the end of the reportage, we left the most "delicious" -collections of three famous brands: Michael Aram, Haviland-Daum and Sieger by Fürstenberg. At the stand of the American brand Michael Aram was the owner and designer of the brand - Michael Aram. Read an interview with him shortly.
