Discover the latest products and ideas shaping the industry, revealed at the recent installment of the Paris trade fair
Sculptural pieces, warm neutrals, heritage crafts and everyday objects with luxurious details were some of the trends spotted at the recent Maison & Objet 2026 trade fair, which took place Jan. 15-19 at the Paris Nord Villepinte exhibition center. The show, a destination for design professionals from around the globe, featured more than 2,000 exhibitors across seven sprawling halls filled with inspiration. Here are key themes from the show that will be influencing home design this year.

The Curatio installation, curated by Thomas Haarmann, brought together sculptural pieces from a collective of creators illustrating this point. The pieces included the Conica alabaster lighting collection by Samuel Accoceberry Studio (previous photo) and the striking Cora table (above), designed by Verter Turroni for Imperfettolab, whose base makes as much of a statement as its top.

Tooon table
Cast-cement tables by Tooon also showed that the table base matters — an idea reflected in dining, occasional and coffee tables throughout the show. Tooon designs can be customized by choosing the desired shape, leg and top combination and colors.

LB Ceramic Art
LB Ceramic Art provided a look at how it uses the ancient art of raku to create one-of-a-kind finishes for its lighting. The ceramic designs are transformed in a moment of alchemy when they are drawn out of a 1904-degree Fahrenheit (1040-degree Celsius) kiln while still hot to allow oxidation to occur, forming intricate crackle patterns on the glaze.

Sheyn 3D-printed vases
Artful shapes are also influencing decorative accessories, such as Sheyn’s 3D-printed vases in Melange — an ombre shade of cream and brown inspired by the Viennese coffee culture, the city this innovative design studio calls home.

2. Curved Furniture
The demand for soft, organic shapes is still going strong. In fact, there were few geometric designs seen at this Maison & Objet, with even seemingly rectangular chairs, tables and fixtures featuring sweeping corners upon close inspection.

Benjamin Moore
3. Earthy Tones
A spectrum of warm neutrals — cream, off-white, caramel, mocha, copper and chocolate brown — made up color schemes that, while pared back, oozed luxury and comfort. The idea is to introduce tactility and richness to create interest in monochromatic spaces.
Benjamin Moore’s 2026 color of the year, Silhouette, is a refined midtone that complements Swiss Coffee, Sherwood Tan and Southwest Pottery to form a grounded palette befitting this sophisticated trend.

PH Collection
When color did cut through the neutrals, it came in the form of deep green, ocher, red and, occasionally, vivid blue, used as accents to lift the otherwise restrained room designs.

Seletti
Seletti showcased its playful nature with its Kintsugi collection of ceramics, which draws on the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold to highlight the damage rather than hide it. The collection goes beyond tableware to include ceramic skulls.
Seletti’s collaboration with BIC to transform its humble Cristal ballpoint pen into a light fixture makes for an instantly recognizable talking point.

Junior collection, Park Avenue
Play inspired one of Park Avenue’s bathroom suites, where fun was central to the design. The Junior collection is the brand’s first dedicated solely to children, and it features whimsical elements such as a teacup bathtub and sink and duck and star faucet handles. Bathing in a teacup tub — every little girl’s dream?

5. Heritage Crafts
The theme of Maison & Objet 2026 was “Past Reveals Future,” an intriguing concept that relates to the way design pieces are made. Brands looked back to reveal traditional manufacturing techniques that can be used or interpreted for creations that suit today’s interiors.
While some preserve tradition, others combine high-tech production with artisanal skills. Whether it be in textiles, hand-painted wallpaper, pottery or objects made of wood or glass, the key is allowing the story of the process to be heard.
Ukrainian brand Guculiya, founded by designer, architect and researcher Danuta Kril, champions an almost-lost pottery technique, Gavarechchyna, named for the western Ukraine region where it originated and survives today, according to the company. The smoky black pottery is baked in a wood-burning oven, where smoke seeps into the clay to oxidize and darken it. Modern shapes and time-honored process combine in the collection.

Revealing the future, brands such as Sheyn show how modern techniques such as 3D printing are being integrated into the design world. Although digital, each product is made to order, harnessing a slow and sustainable approach.

Giobagnara
6. Elevating the Everyday
Rooms today are often designed as ritualistic spaces for self-care and relaxation, to provoke emotion and to offer comfort, putting human needs first and foremost. Everyday objects such as laundry baskets, coffee makers, cutlery and table linens are all highly considered and made with luxurious materials.
Summed up by the motto displayed at Fürstenberg’s booth, “Living the beauty of moments,” this movement celebrates every touchpoint within the home.
For example, Giobagnara, known for its leather goods, displayed woven laundry baskets, trash cans, coasters and more. It also showed how a leather-clad coffee machine (above) can become part of an elevated design.

Misette
Elevating mealtimes is central to Misette’s collections. Its embroidered linens add personality and fun to a tablescape.
As Elizabeth Leriche, the designer behind this year’s “What’s New? In Decor” space, said: “The pursuit of well-being, comfort and a sense of reassurance will remain central [to the interiors of tomorrow]. Spaces should invite connection to oneself, to others and to beauty.”
