January’s theme is neo-surrealism, which illustrates the very mission of Maison&Objet: to surprise and excite with boundary-defying innovations across design, architecture, art and more
Maison&Objet (M&O) returns to Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Centre from 16th to 20th January 2025 and once again examines the industry with a real, comprehensive check-up for interior designers, architects, makers and retailers from across Europe and beyond.
At this edition, visitors will discover a special focus on premium hospitality, collectible design and unprecedented lifestyle concepts through a neo-surrealist theme titled Sur/Reality. This concept takes shape in unexpected objects and dreamlike settings that invite us to let go and addresses consumers’ newfound appetite for the strange and the surprising.
What is Sur/Reality?
The Surrealist movement was born 100 years ago. A century later, it remains a powerful inspiration and a driving force for creativity. The Sur/Reality theme feeds on fantasy, distortion, randomness, humour and poetry to construct a narrative of new creative landscapes and of productions that are as surprising as they are desirable.
While the theme pays tribute to the artistic legacy of such illustrious names as Magritte and Dali, it is firmly rooted in the contemporary world.
Thus, designers in attendance this weekend will look at creativity through the lens of a complex and chaotic world. As daydreamers themselves, M&O encourages attendees and exhibitors to continue to use their originality, quirkiness and inventiveness to offer other realities that are escapist and jubilant.
“In line with our core values we offer, as always, a clever mix of inspirations, targeted curation, and immediately actionable solutions,” says Mélanie Leroy, Managing Director of Maison&Objet.
