Architects Cristiano Benzoni and Sophie Thuillier of Rev-Architecture have designed a trends forum known as the cook+design studio in a space which resembles a contemporary brasserie. The space will play host to speakers, presentations on design concepts and tastings.

French designer Noé Duchaufour Lawrance has redesigned scènes d’intérieur, which presents a selection of 130 French and international master craftsmen, artists and designers collectively staged for the first time in a gallery.

Each year, the Maison & Objet observatory members pick key trends around a central theme, which then are turned into exhibitions in Hall 7. This year, the theme is “Elsewhere” and exhibitions include “Landscape—Elsewhere is Nature,” by Elizabeth Leriche; “Heliotropic—Elsewhere is Under the Sun,” by Francois Bernard; “Beyond—Elsewhere in Abysses and Space,” by Vincent Gregoire.

A group of American designers will be touring the shows with Edward Ferrell + Lewis Mittman: Jennifer Cohler Mason, Jamie Drake, ID810 Design Group, McMillen, JDS Designs, Elsa Soyas and BHR Design, as a bonus for having spent at least $125,000 at EF+LM over the past year. The trip covers airfare and a 3-night hotel stay, includes a pass to Maison&Objet, dinner and a tour of the Paris Flea Market.
