“Let’s Share” was the mantra and focus of Maison et Objet 2014, the much acclaimed Paris Trend Fair this September. Creators, designers, artistic craftsmen and artists all come together for this dynamic, bi-annual, Home Decor Trade Fair held in Paris. The sole aim being, to share and exchange creative ideas and design talent with the international design community. Think Tanks, information stations and this year’s static Trend display, all celebrated this amazing platform that inspires the fusion of creative players and their public.
“There’s no creation without sharing” was one of the key messages that we took away from the show, and with today’s booming social culture of exchanging information and ideas through social media, we wanted to share our favourite finds at Maison et Objet with you, so you can pass them on…!
We LOVED everything CHATEAU CHIC about Maison et Objet this season!
Who needs a 17th Century palace when you can improvise with stunning Trompe L’Oeil effects for your interior, gorgeous reconditioned Louis XV furniture and even scent your home with evocative scents of the historic Palace of Versailles…
Wallpapers by Christopher Koziel
This amazing collection of striking Trompe L’oiel effect wallcoverings by Christopher Koziel was by far our favourite discovery at the Maison et Objet show this September. Whether you are envisaging an Antique Library filled with leather bound, distressed and dusty vintage tomes…. an industrial factory warehouse with metal plate steel beams that tower above…, or a Louis XV style Versailles palace of gargantuan proportions and corridors that go on forever…, these incredible wallcoverings are the answer! No need for the real thing, a room of any size and a spot of trompe l’oeil definitely does the trick – Perfect!
