Maison et Objet Paris 2025, held this past weekend, showcased the latest trends in interior design and luxury aesthetics. The event, complemented by exhibitions across Paris, provided valuable insights into the evolving world of design. Here is a look at some highlights outside the main exhibition centre.

Textile Artistry at Fondation Cartier

At the Fondation Cartier, we explored an exhibition featuring the works of Olga de Amaral, a Colombian artist known for her innovative textile creations. Her pieces combined traditional weaving techniques with contemporary art, highlighting a focus on texture and craftsmanship that was echoed throughout Maison et Objet. De Amaral’s use of natural fibres and metallic elements reflected the growing demand for artisanal and sustainable materials in luxury interiors.

Dolce & Gabbana’s Exhibition at the Grand Palais

The Grand Palais hosted an immersive Dolce & Gabbana fashion exhibition that highlighted the brand’s opulent designs. Featuring intricate patterns and luxurious fabrics, the display aligned with the event’s trend towards maximalism in interior design. The celebration of Italian craftsmanship and cultural heritage was a reminder of the importance of storytelling in creating meaningful and distinctive spaces.

With over 400 pieces spanning seven decades, the exhibition showcased vibrant colours and bold compositions that mirrored the emphasis on personal expression in contemporary interiors. Hockney’s exploration of digital techniques also aligned with the increasing integration of technology into design.

Several notable trends stood out at the event:

• Warm Earthy Tones: Rich, natural hues, including shades of brown, were prominent, fostering a connection to nature and adding warmth to interiors.
• Textural Fabrics: Materials like bouclé were widely featured, celebrated for their tactile qualities and ability to enhance comfort and understated luxury.
• Maximalist Patterns: Bold and eclectic pattern combinations reflected a move towards maximalism, encouraging creativity and individuality in design.
• Historical Influences: Elements inspired by Art Deco and classical motifs brought a sense of timeless elegance and depth to modern interiors.

In Summary
