From September 10 to 14, 2026, Maison&Objet Paris takes over Villepinte with a focused program centered around the theme « Pulse in Motion. » Featuring industry highlights, showcases of emerging talent, and conferences, here’s what you need to know about this fall edition, and how to extend the experience in the Marais district.
Maison&Objet Paris returns from September 10 to 14, 2026, at the Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Center, with a packed program combining trends, industry highlights, and conferences. A must-attend event for professionals in decoration, design, and lifestyle, the show brings together retailers, architects, hoteliers and restaurateurs, and emerging brands around a unifying theme each year. This year, the theme is « Pulse in Motion, » a creative impulse developed in collaboration with the NellyRodi design agency. For professionals in the Paris region, this event also coincides with Paris Design Week, which takes over the Marais district a few days later: creating a cohesive September between Villepinte and the capital.
Sommaire
Pulse in Motion: the theme of the September edition
Designed in collaboration with NellyRodi, the theme of this edition unfolds across seven immersive sectors. Pulse in Motion presents itself as a call to movement and collective momentum: design is envisioned as a lever for cohesion, capable of creating connections rather than remaining a solitary act. The Spanish creative duo Masquespacio embodies this impulse as ambassadors for Maison&Objet Pulse and Paris Design Week 2026. Beyond the visual signature of the edition, Masquespacio brings the show to life with the immersive installation Feel the Shift, where colors, materials, and light place emotion at the heart of the space, extending this presence into the city throughout the design journey.
The highlights not to be missed at the show
The Decor & Design sector features several highly anticipated events. Design District, led by the artistic direction of the Hall Haus collective, acts as an observatory of upcoming trends, a veritable show within the show dedicated to young designers. Future On Stage highlights the three 2026 winners, Baguette Studio, LightMass, and Risette, recognized for their approaches to objects, light, and experience. The Rising Talent Awards, South Africa edition, celebrate the South African creative scene and its local expertise. Emerging brands also find their platform with (im)Pulse, supported in particular by the City of Paris, Pépites France, Emergence, and Ulule, while the MOM Village celebrates ten years of Maison&Objet’s digital marketplace through a retrospective exhibition and an experience designed by Masquespacio. The Accor Design Awards, for their part, mark a decade dedicated to hotel design.
In the Cook & Share sector, the table is being reinvented around new forms of conviviality. Sarah Espeute designs the scenography of the Reception Table, a poetic universe blending embroidered linen, antique tableware and textile hangings, while the Cook&Share Rendez-vous by La Filière France bring together young brands, designers and artisans around the cuisine of tomorrow.
On the sourcing side, several spaces guide professionals in their choices. In Materia by Elizabeth Leriche, designed with Ateliers d’Art de France, explores living materials through a sensory scenography. Nouveau Souffle by Pauline Glaizal, with its Retail Coaching component, deciphers new commercial concepts and contemporary retail practices. Pet Square highlights the trends of high-end pet lifestyle, Pitch my Brand gives a voice to brands that are shaking up the market in short formats, and Hall 7 Festival, whose graphic identity was entrusted to Louise Lemesle, brings together these different expressions of the art of living in a vibrant and creative space.
The Talks: giving creators a voice
The Talks conference program punctuates the five days of the show with a series of presentations: leading figures in design, emerging creators, and international experts take turns shedding light on the major challenges facing the sector. Previous editions remain available for replay, a useful resource for preparing your visit or continuing your learning after the show.
From Villepinte to the Marais: extending the show with Paris Design Week
Maison&Objet is held annually in conjunction with Paris Design Week, which this year takes place from September 10 to 19, 2026, in the heart of the Marais district. For a brand with a presence in Villepinte, this is an opportunity to double its visibility by setting up a showroom or exhibition in the Marais, either concurrently with or immediately following the trade fair. This is the area where galleries, design press, and buyers congregate. To find out where to exhibit in the Marais during Paris Design Week, consult our dedicated guide Galerie Joseph, with over 30 exclusive spaces in the neighborhood, supports this dual presence, from pop-up showrooms to collection exhibitions; details of the formats can be found on our page for showroom rental.
