As we reflect on the jubilant 30th anniversary of Maison&Objet, it's evident that this year marked a step forward for the fair: it has been an enriched event, enticing an expanded array of offerings and emphasizing turnkey solutions for retailers, specifiers, and hospitality professionals.

The outcome was a surge in attendance as visitors and exhibitors flocked to experience Maison&Objet's winning formula: inspiration, curation, and solutions.

Some key highlights: notable 9% increase in the total number of exhibitors compared to last year, a lineup of 2,516 brands, with over 60% representing international entities and 30% debuting as new brands, and an uptick in visitor numbers (+5%), with 42% hailing from overseas.

The 30th edition ended only recently, but it's already time to think about the next appointment: Maison&Objet fair will return on September 5-9 in Paris Villepinte, with an exhibition that promises plenty of surprises, innovation, and fresh ideas in the context of the Paralympic Games.

Compasses will proudly participate in the upcoming event as well. Stay tuned!
