Maison et Objet 2026

Taking place from 15–19 January 2025, Maison & Objet explores the theme Past Reveals Future, celebrating design as a living continuum. Across the show, this narrative is brought to life through immersive installations that explore the emotional resonance of design and its power to shape what comes next.

Harry Nuriev

Named Designer of the Year 2026, Harry Nuriev brings his distinctive design language to Maison & Objet through an immersive installation shaped by his manifesto, Transformism. Working across furniture, installation and scenography via his New York and Paris based studio, Crosby Studios, Nuriev reimagines everyday forms into considered, collectible objects. Expect a carefully constructed environment that reflects the show’s Past Reveals Future theme, alongside the launch of a new home collection created exclusively for Baccarat.

The Curatio

A refined destination for those tracking the evolution of collectible design, The Curatio returns to Maison & Objet as a curated “village” of art-driven interiors. Hand-selected by designer and artistic director Thomas Haarmann, the showcase brings together an international roster of studios working at the intersection of sculpture, furniture and material innovation. Expect immersive scenography, considered craft and a quietly powerful atmosphere.

Coutansais Castillo

Coutansais Castillo is a creative duo blending interior architecture and furniture design into immersive spatial narratives. At Maison in the City, they present their first furniture collection, bringing the same thoughtful approach that defines their architectural projects. Each piece reflects a dialogue between function and emotion, with material and form carefully considered to create spaces that feel both personal and refined. This is a must-see for those following the next chapter of contemporary French design.

Ukrainian Neofolklore

Responding to the show’s theme Past Reveals Future, Ukrainian Neofolklore brings together a collective of Ukrainian designers and makers whose work reinterprets traditional craft through a contemporary lens. Curated by Galerie Sana Moreau, the exhibition explores elemental themes of Earth, Wind, Fire and Water, presenting ceramics, textiles and sculptural objects that combine heritage techniques with modern material expression. The result is a thoughtful and visually rich showcase of evolving craft and cultural identity.
