Maison & Objet Fair (September 4–8, 2025): an immersion into luxury, exceptional real estate and sustainable lifestyle

From September 4 to 8, 2025, the Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Center will host the “Autumn–Winter” edition of the iconic Maison & Objet fair, a must-attend event for professionals in design, decoration, and high-end real estate.

Prestige real estate as a reflection of design trends

The link between luxury real estate and high-end interior design has never been more evident. At Paris Ouest Sotheby’s International Realty, we observe that our clients seek exceptional properties combining elegance, contemporary style, and authenticity. Maison & Objet provides a unique source of inspiration to transform a residence into a true showcase of refinement. Among the standout trends of this edition: the use of noble materials such as marble, solid wood, and brass, combined with earthy and nature-inspired color palettes. These design codes elevate both Parisian townhouses and contemporary villas in the world’s most coveted destinations.

Enriching inputs for luxury real estate

This season highlights the unique synergy between design and exceptional properties: luxury, noble materials (solid wood, marble, brass), and natural tones remain highly desirable, while evolving toward more responsible practices. Visitors, particularly from the prestige real estate sector, find strong inspiration here to enhance both classical residences and contemporary homes.

A fair with a strong professional dimension

With more than 2,000 exhibitors spread across different sections Design & Décor, Cook & Share, Craft Métiers d’Art, and more Maison & Objet is the ideal platform to discover the latest luxury-oriented trends. Conferences, workshops, and curated selections (such as Welcome Home by Amélie Pichard, Future On Stage, and the Rising Talent Awards) add significant value for professionals in real estate, architecture, and lifestyle industries.

Key trends of September 2025

The September 2025 edition highlighted several striking aesthetics: the strong comeback of brown hues, bold animal prints, and luxurious fabrics such as Dedar’s engraved velvets or Pierre Frey’s kilim jacquards. Visitors were also captivated by statement pieces—curved sofas, artistic finishes, artisanal textiles—that reflect a growing taste for originality and bespoke design. Perfectly aligned with luxury real estate, these trends define the Autumn–Winter 2025 collection and open new perspectives for showcasing high-end residences.

A hub for professionals

Beyond its general appeal, Maison & Objet is a privileged meeting place for professionals. Architects, decorators, and real estate agents explore collaboration opportunities and gain inspiration for their projects. Scheduled conferences and workshops addressed topics such as the evolution of luxury interiors, the integration of new technologies, and strategies for enhancing exceptional properties.

Conferences at the heart of today’s reflections

Among the highlights of Maison & Objet September 2025, three conferences particularly stood out, emphasizing the links between culture, innovation, and creation.

• “Japan, epicenter and fantasy of design” explored the growing influence of Japanese aesthetics on contemporary design. Minimalism, refined materials, and the pursuit of harmony now inspire interiors from Parisian residences to international villas. This is especially relevant to luxury real estate, where elegant simplicity and pure lines are increasingly sought after by cosmopolitan buyers.

• “Global Art Director: between places, objects and emotions” underlined the importance of storytelling in spatial design. Guest designers demonstrated how to create interiors that go beyond functionality to tell a story, evoke emotions, and reflect identity. This resonates strongly with luxury property presentation, where every detail must contribute to a unique and memorable living experience.

• “Creative fusion: AI & human intuition in the era of global and local trends” opened the debate on the impact of artificial intelligence in design and architecture. Speakers emphasized the need to combine technology with human sensitivity to create innovative yet authentic environments. For the luxury real estate sector, this perfectly illustrates the future: blending technological performance with emotional atmosphere to deliver connected, responsible, and elegantly designed homes.

Paris Design Week (September 4–13): an urban showcase of inspiration

In parallel, Paris Design Week will unfold across the capital from September 4 to 13, offering ten days of exhibitions, openings, showrooms, and urban installations open to the public. It is also the perfect opportunity to envision content that links exceptional real estate projects with Paris’s artistic circuit.

Practical access and conditions

The fair takes place at the Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Center, easily accessible via RER B (Parc des Expositions station), or with free shuttles from Roissy-CDG and Porte Maillot. It is open exclusively to professionals, with entry granted upon presentation of a badge or ticket, available in advance through the online platform or the digital application MOM (Maison & Objet and More).
