Parella at the heart of the 11th Rendez-Vous de la Matière by FORMÆ
A must-attend event for those involved in creativity and innovation.
On October 9 and 10, 2025, Parella participated in the 11th edition of Rendez-Vous de la Matière by FORMÆ, held at the Carreau du Temple in Paris.
A true laboratory of creativity and innovation, this trade show has, in just a few years, become a major event for architects, designers, artisans, luxury brands, and real estate developers seeking new inspiration.
With over 100 selected exhibitors, an immersive exhibition design by Pauline Leprince, and 7,000 trade visitors, the 2025 edition confirmed the fair’s role as a leading platform for materials and contemporary design.
Contemporary design and collectible design in the spotlight
One of FORMÆ's outstanding new features was the inauguration of a space entirely dedicated to contemporary design and collectible design, where young talents and established designers were able to dialogue on the creation of unique objects on the borderline between art and furniture.
This new sector is positioned as a privileged field of experimentation, reflecting the latest aesthetic and functional trends.
Prix FORMÆ: excellence rewarded
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.
Parella, in search of tomorrow's materials and emotions
Under the glass roof of the Carreau du Temple, Parella teams explored the textures, materials and shapes that will nourish tomorrow's workspaces.
This immersion continued with the discovery of "Onze", a fragrance for architecture imagined by Jean-Michel Wilmotte and Emmanuelle Grin, a veritable bridge between sensorial design and spatial conception.
This show was a moment of collective inspiration for our architects, designers and consultants, reinforcing our commitment to imagining sustainable, inspiring and meaningful environments.
In conclusion: materials as engines of transformation
By taking part in this year's Rendez-Vous de la Matière, Parella confirms its commitment to driving change in the world of design and commercial real estate.
Through curiosity, collaboration and experimentation, we continue to redefine the way in which professional spaces are designed and experienced.
