Esprit & Ornament

The Paris Shows: Maison & Objet and Paris Deco Off

Ornament is having its moment—and Paris, as ever, knew it first. This report follows the design world to its January rendezvous: Maison & Objet at Villepinte and Paris Deco Off: the showrooms, pop-ups, and parties, where the prevailing mood was layered, opulent, and historically fluent. Under the banner of Past Reveals Future, we learned how designers engage with archives—a process that begins with understanding, moves through careful study, and arrives at something genuinely new. The past is not a refuge. It is a resource.
