Another highlight of the show was the first edition of the FORMÆ Prize, presided over by Jean-Michel Wilmotte and Sébastien Maschino, which spotlighted the most innovative projects.

• Manufacture Prize: awarded to Gwilenfounded in Brest by Yann Santerre, for its transformation of marine sediments into a sustainable, low-carbon mineral material.
• Savoir-Faire Prize awarded to Ateliers SP by Élise Blouet-Ménard, for designer Marianne Brisville's contemporary reinterpretation of straw marquetry.
• Design Prize: awarded to Flos for SuperWire, a modular lighting collection by Forma Fantasma, combining technological innovation and timeless elegance.

The trophies, designed by Jean-Michel Wilmotte and produced by COGITECHsymbolize the fusion of craftsmanship and avant-garde design.

Among the most inspiring creations of this Paris Design Week, the leather and glass chair from the Crépuscule collection, by Atelier Munae (founded by Sarah Gracia), explores with finesse the union between craft and design, combining glass, metal, wood and leather.

In a different register, the graphic handles designed by Pauline Borgia for Plum Living come in a new collection, sometimes statutory, sometimes symbolic, in a palette of softened shades: pale yellow, faded green, light grey. Even more enveloping, the Parenthèse décor, designed as a veritable cocoon by Anne-Sophie Pailleret for Élitis, seduces with its soft tones of white and cream, creating a soothing atmosphere.

The duo Hauvette & Madani, in collaboration with Marine Breynaert, presented a series of pieces: the Serge table, the Le Soufflé armchair, the Corbeille wall lamp and the Gioiello lamp, illustrating a design with assertive lines and contemporary elegance. In a more textile spirit, the scenography imagined by Goodmoods for Le Jacquard Français, inspired by the world of Adam Pogue, features patchwork compositions around the table, both graphic and vibrant.

Last but not least, Hyacinthe Design's re-editions of emblematic pieces from the 1945-1960 period bring this panorama to a fitting close: each creation, hand-crafted, numbered and produced in France, combines authenticity, function and timelessness, in a sensitive dialogue between heritage and contemporary creation.
