See new products on display at the recent furniture trade fair in France
Design industry professionals gathered recently in Paris for the EspritMeuble trade show at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. Four categories of home products from 350 brands were on display: furniture, bedding, decor and kitchen. Here are four trends that stood out at the Nov. 16-19 show.
Girardeau, Delta table
On a larger scale, French furniture designer Girardeau has developed a ceramic table with automatic wooden extensions. The Delta table can be extended from 6 to 9 feet in length by simply pulling one of its ends, thanks to an intuitive mechanism. This makes it easy to change it from a standard size to a large reception table to accommodate guests.

Coulidoor, Block
Beyond the technical aspects, modular furniture also requires a well-thought-out design. Manufacturer Coulidoor achieves this with its Block end table. Created in collaboration with designer Leslie Landucci, this small piece of furniture was designed as a storage complement whose function remains open to the needs and imagination of its users. Sold flat and requiring minimal hardware, it can be easily assembled and dismantled.

Stylish Dividers

Blum, Revego
Furniture fittings manufacturer Blum has developed the Revego sliding door solution. Single or double doors open easily and intuitively thanks to Tip-on movement technology. A light pressure from the user is enough to slide the door completely into the pocket or eject it when it is time to close off spaces or hide storage areas. Closed, the surface-mounted doors become almost invisible.

Pixpano
Although partitions are often intended to be discreet, some stand out through their design and personality. Manufacturer of customizable decorative panels Pixpano has started a collaboration with La Verrière française. The idea? To create a 100% customizable glass roof both in terms of frame colors and decoration on the windows. There are 35 adaptable designs and customers also can create their own designs.

Comfort Above All
The Nefele sofa from Egoitaliano, pictured, reflected this trend in the living room. Designed by architect Giulio Manzoni, it evokes the lightness of clouds with its rounded design and soft comfort. Its cushions are covered in a long-pile bi-elastic fabric with a three-dimensional texture.
EspritMeuble was an opportunity to highlight innovations dedicated to comfort. Spanish brand Fama presented its new Hector & Fedra seating system, whose comfort is intended to be similar to that of sofas with springs but with a more accessible manufacturing technique.
Innovations were also found in bedding products, including bedding manufactured without chemical components, made from natural materials and equipped with temperature regulation technology, such as the Ayko mattress from Kolya.

Saving Resources
The different areas at the show had one thing in common: the place given to sustainable development with solutions to save resources and promote recycling. For example, Maison Vivaraise presented its Isabel throw blanket made from recycled plastic bottles. It imitates natural fibers and feels like mohair while being easier to maintain.

Finally, kitchen designers offered devices to limit water and energy consumption. The Beko SaveWater dishwasher, for example, consumes just 6.9 liters of water per full load, with a capacity of 16 place settings. The SaveWater function saves clean water from the last rinse phase of the wash cycle, storing it hygienically in the specially designed water tank in the device, so that it can be reused at the start of the next wash.

Modular Furniture
Square footage is as precious as ever in interiors, and furniture manufacturers continue to innovate to help optimize it with modular pieces suitable for hybrid spaces.
French brand Akante highlighted its Lift table, designed to create multifunctional spaces. A mechanism allows the ceramic top to be positioned at a height of 30 inches or 43 inches without sacrificing stability. It can serve as either a standing table or a small dining table depending on the time of day.
