There are trade events that are just must-attend for professionals whose sphere is related to various aspects of contemporary living – for example, furnishings, interior design, and the like. Maison&Objet is among such events. No wonder that Bellavista Collection, a renowned Italian brand that offers Italian luxury furniture, regularly participates in Maison&Objet.
Since 1995, M&O takes place twice a year, in January and September, in Paris, the capital of France. French are well-known as connoisseurs of beautiful things who tend to prefer quality over quantity. They appreciate special value of their belongings and know how to enjoy life. That’s what French call l’art de vivre, which can be approximately translated as ‘the art of living well’.
M&O PARIS is all about living well. It is the place where really enjoyable items are exhibited. Here you will find exclusive pieces created by ingenious designers, both renowned masters and rising talents, from all over the world. M&O is often called a springboard for brands, because it is a real magnet for talented designers and promising startups.
Being a trade show for industry professionals only, Maison&Objet is a perfect meeting place for those who set trends in the industries related to lifestyle, including interior design. Twice a year about 3,000 exhibitors and more than 90,000 unique visitors (about half of whom come from the countries other than France) gather in Paris to engage in networking. Maison&Objet is all about identifying new trends, promoting promising talents, concluding contacts, and, of course, getting inspiration and sharing ideas.

But in September 2016 the situation changed when a digital platform named MOM (MAISON&OBJET AND MORE) was launched. Ever since then, networking of manufacturers and buyers, artisans, architects, interior and product designers, etc. lasts all year round. The worldwide community of professionals can now keep abreast of the news, directly communicate with one another and get inspiration 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
In other words, with MOM, MAISON&OBJET never ends.
