The january edition promises to redefine and explore new ways to transform interiors and offer you a glimpse into a world of unpredictable combinations. 

 

From sustainability and organic shapes to the hypnotic concepts of surrealism, this event will have something that appeals to every taste. Discover the trends that emerged from Maison et Objet and how they will make a statement in future design projects.

 

 

The Sparkle of Surrealism

The main theme of this year’s edition of Maison et Objet focuses on the concept of surreality that it’s materialized in objects with unexpected shapes and dreamlike scenarios that will captivate everyone’s attention. Surrealism is an artistic movement known for its playful and unpredictable character where designers explore their imagination freely.

Combine unexpected elements in unconventional locations, mix different textures and patterns or choose furniture with unusual shapes and sizes. This is the perfect opportunity to make bold choices and challenge the traditional principles of interior design.

 

 

Sustainability at the Core

 

Sustainability will, undoubtedly, be one of the most popular trends this year. The growing concern for the well-being of our planet has increased designers’ concern to offer ecological solutions that do not compromise the elegant and harmonious look of their projects. There are countless ways to embrace this concept such as choosing low-impact materials that are easily renewable or recyclable, and adopting a minimalist aesthetic that only incorporates essential elements in the space.

 

Designers at Maison et Objet, this year, aren’t afraid to express their creative vision through natural materials like bamboo, restored wood, natural stone, and organic textiles. This design philosophy can also be practiced by choosing lighter color schemes to avoid dependence on artificial lights and make spaces more inviting.

 

 

 

Multifunctional and Modular Designs

 

As trends continue to evolve it’s easy to get tired of seeing the same furniture in the same place daily. Modular designs introduce this trend as a way to challenge a person’s creative side, offering a wide range of options to customize the arrangement of the furniture 

 

These pieces will shapeshift to perfectly fit into any room, making traditional furniture appear dull. Think modular sofas, foldable tables, and shelving units that double as room dividers. They’re ideal for maximising small spaces while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic, fostering a sense of fluidity among all decorative elements. 

 

 

 

The Influence of Technology

 

Artificial intelligence has become a regular presence in our lives and, in 2025, it will become indispensable within our homes. While natural and organic elements dominate, technology is also playing a key role at Maison et Objet, showing how it is possible to enhance a person’s daily routine through tailored efficiency.

 

From controlled lighting to furniture that adapts to the one’s posture, innovation continues to blend seamlessly with design. Consider integrating smart home devices that align with your lifestyle, whether it’s a smart coffee table with built-in charging ports or automated lighting, this new design approach offers both functionality and luxury.

 

 

Maison et Objet 2025 highlights the importance of creating spaces that are not only visually appealing but also functional, sustainable, and deeply personal. The trends showcased this year encourage a balance between minimalism and creativity, technology and craftsmanship, and style and sustainability. 

 

 

Whether you’re remodelling your home or simply looking for inspiration, these trends provide a roadmap for interior design projects that reflect individuality while connecting us to the modern world.
