Sunday spark

 It's Paris Design Week / Maison&Object 2026

 ***

Paris is pulsing with creativity today as Maison&Objet Pulse* fills the halls at Villepinte and Paris Design Week spills across the city’s most inspiring neighborhoods - from Marais galleries and Bastille installations to Saint-Germain showrooms and the Grand Palais’s floral spectacle. It features what’s new and next in design, emerging talents and young brands, bold, sensitive, and sustainable creativity, a dynamic, forward-looking energy focusing on seven immersive sectors: Decor & Design, Cook & Share, Fine Craft, Fashion & Accessories, Gift & Play, Fragrance & Ambiance, Wellness & Beauty.

On this sunny September Sunday, the capital feels like one big open studio, where emerging talents, craft traditions, and bold new interiors invite wandering, discovery, and feeling the energy of design in motion.  - BPJ
