Inspirations
Structured around key themes, the event showcases a myriad of brands that are absolute musts across the entire hospitality sector. The “Forever” (timeless classics), “Unique & Eclectic” (championing global creativity), and “Today” (a distillation of the spirit of our times) zones notably attract café owners, hoteliers and restaurateurs, inviting them to cast their eye over a selection of the very latest furnishings and design solutions from international designers
At 37, architect Laura Gonzalez is already wellknown for working her magic across Paris, and for the past two years has been spreading her wings overseas, stamping her “reworked classical” style on a whole host of restaurants, bars, hotels and stores. MASON&OBJET is delighted to be giving this exceptionally talented and prolific designer a helping hand along the road to success by naming her Designer of the Year
CAFÉ SIGNATURE BY LAURA GONZALEZ
At the entrance of hall 7 you will discover the Café Signature designed especially for the event. Immerse yourself in the world of Laura Gonzalez’s furniture in its superb interior, while savouring a selection of dishes and pastries devised by Pierre Hermé.
The expertise of Pierre Frey is showcased in a decor that features shapes, colours and materials that only Laura Gonzalez could combine, a space defined by a mix of rounded shapes and bright colours.
Besides the big-name manufacturers and makers that exhibit at every edition alongside a multitude of smaller scale craftsmen and artisans, numerous up-and-coming talents also emerge each year.
On top of that, MAISON&OBJET also dedicates specific zones to the art of hospitality. The Cook & Share zone gives visitors the lowdown on the latest eating trends. Food is constantly evolving, and from cookware to tableware hundreds of brands are helping us reinvent the way we eat, with their designs providing endless inspiration for restaurateurs, head chefs and baristas.
Another key theme for the hotel and restaurant trade: Home Linen, which shines the spotlight on the latest textile trends. Towels, bed linen, table linen, pillows, upholstery, curtains... MAISON&OBJET showcases a thoroughly unique selection whose diversity and quality are second to none
Aisles for Guidance
To help café owners, hoteliers and restaurateurs find their way around MAISON&OBJET’s abundance of aisles, a special trail has been put together focusing on their specific needs. Not only will the trail enable them to explore cookware and tableware solutions from iconic brands such as De Buyer, Revol, Gien and Serax, or furnishings and design solutions from big names such as Normann Copenhagen, Duravit and Bloomingville, but it will also invite them to discover coverings, design pieces and furniture that suit the hotel and restaurant trade’s specific usage needs, including the need for customisation. Three prime examples would be Codimat, MS&Wood and PMP Furniture.

Lastly, conference sessions chaired by industry experts will offer a brand new insight into the impact interior design is having on the hotel and restaurant trade. Triple Michelin-starred chef Frédéric Anton and the architect Aline Asmar D’Amman will take to the stage to chat about the design of the prestigious Eiffel Tower-based restaurant, the Jules Verne, whilst the Managers of the La Réserve group will offer an insight into the secrets behind their confidential hotels’ closely cherished identity
