Maison & Objet 2025: Rethinking the Home, Reinventing Everyday Life
Once again present at the Maison & Objet trade show, Parella continues to fuel its thinking by exploring the most influential creative scenes in contemporary design.
Under the artistic direction of Amélie Pichard, the 2025 edition centered on the warm and unifying theme “Welcome Home”: an invitation to rethink our living and working spaces as sanctuaries, conducive to reconnecting with ourselves, others, and the world.
A meaningful central theme that infused the event with a unique creative energy, focused on sustainability, individuality, and emotion.
The designers showcased pieces combining two materials, furniture with bold lines, and statement objects, blending visual harmony with a sense of purpose. The collection as a whole reflects a design that transcends mere functionality to become a true language
of expression and transformation.
Our Parella favourites
For five days, we explored bold, poetic, sometimes even confusing, but always inspiring worlds. Here are some of the highlights of our visit:
Among the most striking proposals, the Policronica studio seduced us with its Alicate floor lamp, with its sculptural lines, accompanied by radically modern wooden chairs.
Belgian studio Duplex, meanwhile, sublimated reclaimed industrial materials into singular, expressive color-block furniture. Last but not least, the Haus Otto duo captured attention with Zoom, a hybrid rug that blends textile innovation and artisanal know-how.
Focus on the German scene: talents to watch
This year, Germany has established itself as one of the most dynamic hotbeds of contemporary creation.
The Rising Talent Awards honored seven promising designers; Friedrich Gerlach, Marie Luise Stein, Moritz Walter, Haus Otto, Gerlach & Heilig, Studio Πand Gabriel Tarmassi whose approaches explore sustainability, modularity and even biotechnological experimentation. From wood sculptures to integrated technological objects, their work reflects a new generation of designers in search of meaning and impact.
In addition to the exhibits, the show was also a space for reflection and exchange.
In a remarkable Talk, Amélie Pichard, accompanied by Omar Ghannam and Olivier Waché, argued for a decompartmentalized design, at the crossroads of craftsmanship and innovation, conceived to arouse emotion as much as use.
AND FOR PARELLA?
For Parella, this immersion nurtures a strong conviction: design is a lever for experience. Our workspaces must be inspired by these sensitive avant-gardes, where the visual dimension is placed at the service of use, well-being and relationships.
We design flexible environments, aligned with the identity of companies and the real needs of their teams.
Maison & Objet 2025 showed that the future of design is already here, alive, committed and
radically human.
