Maison&Objet Home Fashion Showcase in Paris – Spring Summer 2012 Collections

Maison&Objet… 2012/2013 Trends in Pictures!

Maison & Objet Showcase suggested us a completely mad trends track! Maison&Objet Observer unveil us 2012/2013 tendancies in a singular journey, subtle and sometime disturbing:  imagination, art and creativity!

Leaving economic crisis behind us, M&O offered us a comforting selection of very inspired home furnitures and objects, poetics, somewhat on the fringe, colored, with an innovative design and a pleasant creative energy.

Discovering brasilian designers Fernando and Humberto CAMPANA, “créateurs de l’année MAISON&OBJET 2012″, and Tokujin Yoshioka for “Now! design à vivre“, innovative projects of Tech & Design programme from R3ilab, the new belgian editor Objekten collection, Lilas Force poetics creations, I Pier Paolo Pitacco I love animals lamps (Alessi)…

Of course Elizabeth Leriche, Vincent Grégoire and François Bernard’s famous scenographies, trends hunters for Maison&Objet Observatory warding of ordinariness, daring the unexpected by originality, excentricity, fantasy, imagination and dreams.

Art’keting (François Bernard) anachronisms, maters and colors collision… Home becoming an artwork you are the creator. Sweet Freaks (Vincent Grégoire – NellyRodi) juxtapositions and accumulations for a psychotropic dizziness. Dream Box (Elizabeth Leriche) home turns out to be a marvel cave where illusions, lost of senses and a whole fantasmatic charm delight and bewtich anyone. Home tries out the ready-to-dream with WonderHouse (les Ateliers d’Art de France), a place for artisans’ artworks figuring the metaphor of a full of marvels house.
