The cog
collection by Tom Dixon, has brass-plated solid aluminium holders; the design
inspired from nature and physics and engineered to aesthetic perfection. In Dixon’s
words: “Science fiction-inspired futuristic simplicity combined with
practical shapes that are easy to use.”
 |
| Veronese |
The
house of Veronese amongst its range of products will also unveil Ceci
n’est pas un vase (French for ‘this is not a vase’) designed by
internationally acclaimed French architect and designer, Reda Amalou, whose
strength lies in integrating multiple scales in a project.
 |
| "Upside Down" by Different & Different |
‘Different
& Different’ are all set to make the difference with Up Side Down: a modern
and asymmetrical bookcase that offers four different positions, depending on
the way it is turned around. The bookshelf is available in aluminium or painted
steel.
 |
| Toulemonde Bochart Rug |
A
revival of colour in all hues and tones shall set the trend for the coming
season. Alongside, vintage style shall
be revived by a subtle yet modern Scandinavian influence with the onus on
warmth and luxury.

| Preciosa Lighting |
Representation
of “the Czech design” as a whole in Paris, fundamental units in glass and
metal lights are set to illuminate the whole event and stand in for a very
‘Czech’ design influence in the city, come alive with design. Appearing to be
floating in the mid-air without any visible wires or hangers, this proposes to
be a unique feature in Chandelier design by Preciosa Lighting.
Setting
the trend for 2014 Maison and Objet clearly suggests the revival of bold
colours and patterns; minimalistic design and more use of natural
materials, especially metals; airing the Parisian reputation of being at the
forefront of cutting-edge design, it is very likely that people walking out of
the exhibition shall proclaim, Oh la
la….Que c’est Magnifique!!
