Maison Objet Overview ’25
Maison & Objet 2025: Trends, Inspiration & Our Takeaways
Our team was in Paris for Maison & Objet 2025 — bringing back new material samples, fresh catalogues, prototypes, and a huge dose of inspiration. We explored all seven halls, attended talks, and absorbed how designers are pushing form, meaning, and material in exciting directions.
This year’s edition, often called the “Paris Fashion Week of design,” drew over 70,000 visitors and more than 2,300 brands. Anchored in the theme Sur/Reality, it showed how 2025 interiors will merge imagination with responsibility, craft with technology, and playfulness with sustainability.
Sur/Reality: Surrealism Returns to Interior Design
The central theme, Sur/Reality, celebrated the centennial of Surrealism. Across the fair, we saw exaggerated forms, whimsical distortions, and dreamlike installations.
- Oversized pendants & witty seating brought drama into everyday rooms.
- Melting-effect mirrors and warped surfaces bent perception.
- Collage sensibility mixed eras, materials, and scales in unexpected ways.
This playful approach reflects a cultural shift: after years of rational minimalism, interiors are now embracing surprise, fantasy, and emotional resonance.
2025 Color & Material Trends
Color and material stories were bold, warm, and tactile:
- Colors: lilac and blush pastels, golden and honey tones, candy brights, and iridescent finishes.
- Materials:
- Architectural tile used in volumetric reliefs.
- Macramé and rope weaving, bringing craft back into interiors.
- Horsehair weaving in vessels and objects (a highlight from Rising Talents).
- Delft-inspired blue-and-white ceramics, reinterpreted for modern collections.
Together, these point to a strong desire for materials with identity and colors that energize spaces.
Sculptural Lighting & Statement Objects
Lighting and accessories took center stage — less about utility, more about personality.
- Whimsical, sculptural lighting fixtures with biomorphic or surreal forms.
- Melting mirrors, warped reflections, and iridescent surfaces that ask you to look twice.
- Creature-like decorative objects adding narrative and playfulness to interiors.
These are no longer “background” pieces — they act as micro-architectures that anchor mood and story.
Biophilia, Nature & Creature Motifs
Nature appeared not just as greenery, but as imaginative storytelling.
- Snakes, insects, and mythic beings featured in patterns and forms.
- Organic curves and pod-like silhouettes influenced furniture and objects.
- Natural materials fused with fantasy finishes, creating dreamlike landscapes indoors.
This evolution of biophilia signals a shift from simply bringing plants indoors to reinterpreting nature as narrative.
The Talks: Ideas Shaping Tomorrow
Maison & Objet is also a platform for thought leadership. This year’s The Talks program emphasized how design is redefining luxury, sustainability, and experience.
- New luxuries, new rules (Vincent Grégoire & NellyRodi): luxury now means responsibility and surprise.
- Luxury & nature: bamboo and bio-based materials are entering hospitality design with rigor.
- Designer spotlights: Franklin Azzi and others explored how craft and innovation intersect in practice.
The message behind the message: design trends are systems of ideas, not just aesthetics — embedding responsibility, emotion, and imagination into the built environment.
How We’ll Apply These Trends
For our studio, being there in person meant more than trend-spotting. We came back with:
- Material kits that experiment with surreal tactility, translucent layers, and sculptural ceramics.
- Catalogues that balance playfulness and modular functionality.
- A clear sense of direction: merging imagination and sustainability in every project.
You’ll see these influences soon in our projects:
- Pendants that double as silhouettes in space.
- Wall treatments that act like landscapes, layered and textural.
- Warm palettes with bold accents to shift atmosphere.
- Collectible, crafted objects that tell a story.
Our foundation remains constant: sustainability as a backbone. We specify materials that age well, carry meaning, and respect craft while minimizing footprint.
Conclusion
Maison & Objet 2025 reminded us that design is not only about function — it is about wonder. The Sur/Reality theme, tactile materials, expressive colors, and biophilic narratives all point toward a future where interiors are playful, sustainable, and emotionally rich.
For us, the task is clear: to translate this sense of possibility into spaces you can truly live in — every day.
