Design Highlights From Paris Déco Off and Maison&Objet

PARIS — It was a week of celebrations and breakthroughs for showrooms and boutiques that gravitated toward Paris’ 6th arrondissement and along the banks of the Seine. More than 200 brands and 67,000 visitors participated in the coinciding events Paris Déco Off and Maison&Objet in the city that kicked off on Jan. 15 and closed here Monday.

An endearing salute to the past, unexpected design principles and the pursuit of new signature designs were just a few of the drivers that wove together the ecosystem of decorators, interior designers, galleries and craftspeople that define Paris’ design industry.

Ecart Introduces New Re-issues of Paul László

Carrying forward the vision of founder Andrée Putman, Pierre Yovanovitch brought his expertise and passion for 20th-century design to lead the brand into a new era — celebrating Ecart’s iconic legacy while ushering it into its next chapter.

Two years after acquiring Ecart, Yovanovitch relaunched with a series of reissues by midcentury modern visionary American-Hungarian émigré Paul László, regarded as one of the leading architects of the period.

Originally created for László’s interior projects, these pieces, among them the Arcadia chair issued in 1950, will be available to the public for the first time.

Chahan Minassian and Giberto Arrivabene Valenti Gonzaga

The relationship between glass artist Giberto Arrivabene Valenti Gonzaga, founder of Giberto Venezia, and Chahan Minassian was built upon a mutual love and appreciation for Venice and its artisan wonders. During Maison&Objet, the two unveiled a special collection of glassware called a Venetian Oasis, which includes pieces that were crafted by Murano glassmakers. Minassian, who has had a home in Venice for more than eight years and has most recently made textiles with Venetian textile house Fortuny, delved into Giberto Venezia’s archives. Together they envisaged pieces from the past through a brand new lens and in colors that call to mind the nuanced characteristics of the Venetian lagoon.

Dedar Milano’s Abstract Newness

Dedar Milano’s 2026 collection of fabrics embraced pure abstraction and fresh conceptual ideas. An array of design-forward designs were inspired by geometric motifs that reinterpreted tartan, and even the colorful complexity of the Centre Pompidou. The Grammelot, for example, was fashioned like an African cave painting and oriental handwriting.

Saint-Louis’ Endiablés

Saint-Louis, the fabled crystal glass business founded in 1586, and Parisian artist José Lévy enhanced their Endiablés (French for “devilish” or “spirited”) collection with three new combinations of bowls. In 2011, Lévy first introduced his playful aesthetic into the historic crystal maker. Today, with this new baroque dance, he continues the same creative approach, adapting them to the rituals of a modern generation and freeing objects from any predetermined use.

Imperfetto Lab

The Milan-based gallery founded by Verter Turroni and Emanuela Ravelli returned to Paris, participating in the Curatio exhibit at Maison&Objet. In an assembly of 60 original pieces curated by German artist Thomas Haarmann, Imperfettolab showcased its most iconic pieces from the Vestigia collection. The duo reintroduced new shapes and finishes for designs like Nok, which was designed by Turroni in 2023 and calls to mind the archeological treasures of the prehistoric era.

Pinto × Augusta Alexander

In 2020, Fahad Hariri acquired Pinto, the distinguished Paris-based interior design studio founded by the late Alberto Pinto. Since then, the Lebanese creative has expanded the house’s collection with unexpected collaborations and forward-looking designs. During Maison&Objet, the aesthete unveiled five new collections of furniture and tableware at his expansive 11 rue d’Aboukir space.

The Pinto × Augusta Alexander collection of tableware was envisaged with Augusta Alexander, a former model who has worked with brands such as Versace, Bottega Veneta, Dsquared, Dolce & Gabbana, and GCDS, among many others and most recently collaborated with Cartier, presented alongside their new high jewelry collection in Vienna.
