A whole year’s celebrations will be devoted to these committed millennials who, confronted with the many current crises, are looking for a better world, changing the rules and revolutionizing consumer behavior in both the home and lifestyle sectors.”
MAISON&OBJET has chosen to work with Business and Creative Intelligence consultant agency Nelly Rodi, to examine new consumer trends driven by the new generation and the subsequent influences on business.
Inspirations 2020 / DESIGN, AND… ACTION!

“We’re offering an experimental space that will spark debate on tomorrow’s creative concepts and will allow each of us to form our own opinions.” RF Studio
GREENKISS® by Hubert de Malherbe, Thierry Lemaire & Paolo Castelli
The new generations’ environmental commitments give rise to an eco-design mindset and inspire bold projects such as GREENKISS®. The elegant and minimal furniture and lighting created by Hubert de Malherbe, Thierry Lemaire and Paolo Castelli – which you can discover in this unique exhibition – make a strong gesture for the planet, for example by using sustainable materials (fast-growing trees, recycled fabrics, and concrete).
