At the January edition of the Maison & Objet trade fair, it was impossible to ignore what was happening with fringe. Most importantly, it was showing up more often. Just as significant was the fact that it was being used on contemporary pieces, and sometimes in unexpected ways.

But new trend-right fringe at the fair was thin, slightly shiny and often long. It was found attached to fibers, woven grasses, wood and metal—and it looked great. Here are a few of the new fringed items seen at Maison & Objet in Paris.
