Uncover The 15 Top Picks From Maison&Objet September 2025

Last week, thousands of people trekked to the Paris Nord Villepinte exhibition center to attend Maison&Objet 2025. Held from Sept. 4–8, the show revealed the first iteration of its new concept, with an emphasis on both emerging designers and new ways to fuse the traditional and the innovative. Attendees also raced around town for Paris Design Week. Interior Design was there for it all—continue reading for our highlights from this year’s fall showings.

Unmissable Highlights From Maison&Objet September 2025

Hall Haus

Tasked with designing the “Design District” (graphics, furniture, signage) incubator for emerging talent at the fair, the French creative laboratory Hall Haus brought its energetic urban- and sports-drawn aesthetic and also debuted a limited-edition furniture collection in powder-coated steel.

Indalo

Supported by the International Trade Centre, Indalo presented a vibrant set of crafts from the tiny country of Eswatini, including tabletop brooms and small brushes from Siyaphambili Handcraft made from lutindzi grass, dyed and woven by a co-op of women using traditional techniques.

Maison Arpelli

Taking the often blocky metal chair—and using Art Deco as an influence—these elevated seats (Antonin, left, and Louis) from Maison Arpelli have a little something extra, plus they’re extremely comfortable due to an extensive testing process!

Marieta Tedenac

Czech-French glass designer Marieta Tedenac showed work with tremendous range—from her elegant, jewel-tone metallic Scarabea vases (left) to her dysphoric Narcissus vases (right) in which an outer layer of painted glass is smashed and reassembled over a mirrored core.

Siyu Liu

Barcelona-trained, Chinese architect and artist Siyu Liu focuses on craft rooted in land and tradition. Her Mediterranean collection in paper raffia represents life in the area in recent years with motifs of withered cacti, inactive public fountains, and climate-affected red coral.

Sand & Björk

Sand & Björk‘s elegant live/work solutions include the Duo live/work table, which is elegant when dining and fully functional when working, in solid birch, finished with natural wax; and Pop, a height-adjustable desk available in three colors. 

Zing

Pushing the boundaries of traditional ceramics casting, Zing industrial designers focus on processes, materiality, and innovation to deliver pieces with emotion. Their vases are cast in paper molds that add folds, wrinkles, and distortions that are one of a kind.

Douze Degrés

Douze Degrés studio operates somewhere between object design and scenography, bringing art direction and narrative to design. The Flare candle/lens fixtures are based on the magnified beam cast by lighthouses, the flame creating a beautiful and unpredictable glow.

Friedrich Gerlach

Friedrich Gerlach loves to work with materials and processes still in early development in order to reveal their potential. The stackable Lumo sofa body is 3D printed using wood leftovers from the timber industry, with a removable polyamide-free fabric cover and no foam.

Hugo Charlet

Bordeaux-based Hugo Charlet has a degree in furniture design, which shows in his meticulous detail and top-notch joinery. His Helena chair features a backrest that turns on itself—like a ribbon—to gradually form the armrests, a feat that required state-of-the-art tools.

Haus Otto

Haus Otto‘s Zooom Rug for Bottone serves as both a super-soft daybed (in Kvadrat fabric and foam) and a piece of art, featuring scaled-up techniques that combine the oldest and simplest weaving method with a modern, cartoon-like vibe.

Claraval

Pushing the envelope of what constitutes ceramic design, Claraval uses sound algorithms to shape its forms, such as the Magnificat vase in stoneware. The human voice is transformed into digital shapes that can be manipulated and 3D printed.

Trapos & Fiapos

Part of Amuletto, a collection of Brazilian designers promoted by ApexBrasil, the sustainable Entrerios rugs by Trapos & Fiapos portray life at a moment of polarization, representing coexisting and codependent shadow and light. They are made with cotton, cattail, and buriti palm, woven by hand on reclaimed and adapted looms.

Les Crafties

Despite having frequent collaborations with India Mahdavi (where they had a special presentation) and Hermès, the Sète-based duo Les Crafties (Jeanne Martin-Taton et Marie-Marie Vergne) are a phenomenon in their own right. Here, they displayed joyful patterns turned into tablecloths, wardrobes, and more.

Serax x Shurleey | Santiago de Borja

Belgian-Peruvian painter Shirley Villavicencio Pizango teamed up with the Belgian design brand Serax to create pottery adorned with her playful portraits. The shapes themselves are drawn from pottery represented in her artwork. “I must admit that some vases were quite difficult to make,” Villavicencio Pizango says. “They are painted and not exactly logical in form.”
