Back from Maison et Objet in Paris, here my highlights in pictures, brands and news from the home and decor fair.
I choose three simple words to recap this long image gallery: COLOR, PLAY, ROUND.
Just read through to see why and if you’ve been to Paris fair let me know if you had the same impressions about what’s trendy in the home decor on this 2016!
.
Di ritorno da Maison et Objet a Parigi, ho messo insieme le varie novità che mi sono saltate all’occhio alla fiera della casa e del design di inizio anno.
Ho scelto tre parole per riassumere questa lunga gallery di tante immagini e poche parole: COLOR, PLAY, ROUND.
Capirete il perché di queste parole sfogliando le immagini: per chi è stato a M&O, sono curiosa di sapere se avete avuto anche voi le stesse impressioni in merito a quelli che saranno i trend per la casa e per l’interior di questo 2016!

maison et objet 2016 | COLOUR!
The colour trends for this 2016 in interiors and home decor?
I must say that in Maison et Objet I didn’t see a lot of Pantone 2016. Almost never in the match of Rose Quartz and Serenity, as Pantone declared. Many brands launched products in pink, but this pastel hue is often matched with bold and dark colour. Indeed, the 2016 colour palettes of many design and decor brands (see for example below Muuto, Normann Copenhagen, Farrow and Ball) include bold colours more than pastel ones.
2016 colours refers to nature and to the earth: shades of blues, dark greens, oranges and reds in their warm hues. What I noticed the more than everything are blues and greens , in particular petrol blue (as the combination of blue, grey and green) was almost everywhere in the Paris fair.

I colori dell’anno 2016 per la casa e l’interior design?
Devo dirvi che a Maison et Objet non c’era grande traccia del Pantone 2016. Praticamente mai nella sua combinazione di pastelli Rose Quartz + Serenity. Piuttosto, molti brand hanno lanciato prodotti declinati in rosa ma molto spesso inseriti in contesti di colori più scuri e decisi. Infatti le palette del 2016 (ad esempio quelle di Muuto, Normann Copenhagen, Farrow and Ball) comprendono tanti colori pieni e ben poche tonalità pastello, così coem i vari display dei brand di design
I colori del 2016 rimandano alla natura e alla terra: tonalità di blu, verde scuro, di arancioni e rosso nelle loro declinazioni più calde. Primo tra tutti ho notato il blu petrolio, ovvero una combinazione particolare di blu e verde scuro, praticamente ovunque nella fiera (e a me piace, eccome!)

maison et objet 2016 | PLAY
There’s need for fun.
Design plays with shapes, evoking animal ones, in new products that bring us in a fairy dimension. Fun is not just for kids and many brands played with shapes in their stands with interesting displays and funny solutions. Some examples?
.
C’è bisogno di divertirsi. Forse di evadere dalla realtà?
Quello che ho notato in molti brand è un design che gioca con le forme, anche animali, con prodotti che ci portano in una dimensione di gioco e favola. Tra gli stand, tantissime soluzioni divertenti di display nuovi e giochi di composizioni e forme. Alcuni esempi?

SOMETHING MORE…
maison et objet 2016 | about old and new materials
3D : Materials have a new three-dimensional surface. This can be seen both in wall surfaces and in fabrics (see for example in pic: MATERIKA colelction by Marazzi)
.
Marble + Brass + Black Metal: marble is still trendy, but more in dark and green hues than in the traditional carrara one. Matched with metal finishes, more brass then gold (copper has almost disappeared?).
Metallic light frames, especially with a black finish, are also very common
.
New uses of wood: the new wall tiles by PORTEGO inspired by Venetian tiles; Plywood Laboratory is a Japanese mixes paper and wood in beautiful creations
