Hall 7 at Maison & Objet

September 10, 2007 By Michelle Lamb -

I began my last day at the Maison & Objet trade fair in Paris in Hall 7. This building hosts a segment called Outdoor_Indoor that I thought I would walk through quickly. I was wrong. I spent hours in this Hall, discussing new materials and discovering new functionality, meeting designers and uncovering new colors.

Along the way I met Anon Pairot of Restogen. This young man only graduated from design school in 2002, but has been designing products since 2000. His latest creation is a fascinating collection of seating pieces made of aluminum that can be used indoors or out. Each one looks like an abstract wire-frame model. For that reason, I felt a connection between this edgy collection and the one I saw just two days ago from Jacques Pergay (see post from September 8 ). In fact, there was more than a little bit of product here in Paris that gave the impression of seeing an inside structure built to support a skin that was not included.

Above is a picture of Mr. Pairot sitting on one of his chairs. I think you will agree that the look is quite interesting.

Note to subscribers to The Trend Curve™:

I snapped more than 100 images of trend-forward products for outdoor environments. If you source or create assortments in this category and you would like to have these images made available, accompanied by vendor names, send me an email and let me know. I can include them in a special section of the Trend Album™: Maison & Objet that will be released in a few weeks (you can pre-order this product by contacting Janice by email or calling 800.531.6614), or I can make these images available separately much faster. My path will be guided by your interest and needs.
