While the venerable Salon Maison et Objet opened its doors this Friday to meet until September 13, the cream of the decoration and design, and allow all fans to breathe the air of future trends while keeping a watchful eye on the future of the planet (this year, M & O is - especially - the accent, thanks to the Green wire on companies that emphasize environmental protection), the capital Paris is no exception since it organizes in parallel, from September 12 to 18, the first edition of Design Week Paris .

This attractive and ambitious event will explore and enjoy, according to his tastes and desires, the dazzling richness of our capital - design, art, fashion, gastronomy, nothing has been forgotten or left to chance. Designed in the form of aesthetic and hedonistic path, gallery openings, cocktails and other facilities at the key, in different districts of Paris, the operation will, hopefully (and no doubt!), The first of many !

Does not rest in the hot and teeming Belgian design, which also creates the event in Villepinte, honoring under the label design is Belgium , 6 sémillants representatives of interior design Walloon. Do not miss it, among them the work of Thierry Bataille , and its commitment to green design, using natural materials, and minimizing losses to a minimum.

And to top off your one week as exhausting as it is enriching, it will obviously be missed, 17 and 18 September, the 27th annual Heritage Days , and the unique opportunity to enter spaces that rarely open their doors to the public ...

The year 1995 is to mark a milestone, not because at that time I passed the tray innocently, but because it was that year that Maison et Objet was born.

But what is it that Maison et Objet?

Well something like that, somehow,

(If you also want to have fun creating your tag clouds, it is here )

and much more ...

Created at the initiative of the Employers' Federation Workshop Arts of France, the Maison et Objet is an international gathering of all industry professionals, and a great forum for ideas and discoveries that inevitably takes its promises to give to see, hear, feel and touch and the latest trends in decor with a capital D, so the art of living, objects, furniture, everything related to near and far habitat and ornament.

Only with this it is enough to make sure you will agree.

But the show is also a talent scout and ideas that rewards the most innovative products on the market ...

In short, we are here before the treasure trove for all those inspired decorative leaves no one indifferent, coupled with an unprecedented mental torture because of his painful label reserve .

Fortunately, if this little privacy forbidden to ordinary people to travel to northern suburbs of Paris to survey every corner of its multiple spaces, it is the promise of attractive moultes grim discoveries that are sure to be relayed by any route known media. Just think, last September's edition of the show has ressembé nearly 70,000 visitors and 3,356 journalists ...

And when it starts, you might say, this rejoicing? Well, not later than tomorrow just imagine. The Parc des Expositions Villepinte will become within a few hours, and until January 27, the hub of international decoration, with the cult of honor Karl Lagerfeld, promoted for the occasion creator of 2009 . Then wait for a bit until you see how new finds of next season, I suggest you subjectively an example of which was recently discovered and enjoyed during the event.

My choice for the uninitiated is focused on the sculptural and revolutionary creations of the French brand Beautiful and Good . More than a lamp, these are real gems that have been proposed, combining advanced technology - the now unavoidable LED, ultra efficient and almost indestructible - and sophistication - a soft look, a simple drawing all rounded and smooth - reinventing our relationship to lighting. I am particularly sensitive to bright parasol , which seems to me very happily replace the services of halogens and broadcast into our living rooms sweetly supernatural atmosphere. And as he works with a charger, its beauty is by no means altered by any wire whatsoever.

I want to take this opportunity to allow me a brief aside lexical: we tend to describe as a biennial event that takes place twice a year. This is false! biennial is an adjective synonymous with biennial, and refers to that which takes place once every two years. In this case, Maison et Objet, whose fairs are held twice a year, therefore comes at a biannual frequency.
