Maison&Objet: Paris, twice a year

Maison&Objet takes place each January and September at Villepinte, north of Paris, covering furniture, textiles, lighting, fragrance and lifestyle brands.

Compared with Milan it is more focused on buyers and retail, which makes it a common route for brands looking for distributors and boutique stockists.

Paris Design Week runs alongside, taking the programme into galleries and shops across the city.
