MAISON&OBJET: development and unity
For over 10 years, MAISON&OBJET has developed a consistent, multisector range, determinedly focused on creativity and bringing together all homeware and furniture players to become the key exhibition in the European landscape, while maintaining its strong identity. This strategy is confirmed and asserted by the new outlook facing MAISON&OBJET thanks to:
• results for January 2007 which confirm international progress,
• the creation of MAISON&OBJET OUTDOOR_INDOOR in September 2007,
• the creation of MEUBLE PARIS in January 2008. |

 MEUBLE PARIS, Paris Le Bourget, January 2008. The event!
Following the acquisition by SAFI of 100% of SE SMP, the company operating the Salon du Meuble de Paris in May 2007, the Salon du Meuble de Paris and PLANÈTE PARIS join forces to create the event for the furniture sector. MEUBLE PARIS is the unique event for the furniture sector in Paris, combined with MAISON&OBJET’s world of decoration and homeware.
Henceforth, the most exhaustive offer exists in the lifestyle sector with this new exhibition: MEUBLE PARIS 24th to 28th January 2008, at the Paris Le Bourget exhibition centre.
In January 2008, by uniting the whole homeware and furniture sectors, MAISON&OBJET will offer, in the same week: one single entry ticket, enhanced communication and shared services...
Now occurring at the same dates, the worlds of homeware, furniture and fashion make Paris the “Capitale de la Création”. All players in these professions will be able to take advantage of the energies and synergies offered by each partner exhibition and offer French and international buyers, specifiers and journalists one of the most extensive offers dedicated to creativity in all its forms.
MAISON&OBJET more than ever puts its energy into creativity. The creative offer of the decoration, lifestyle, furniture sectors anchored in the small business fabric, in line with modern trends, is its strength. This meeting of players individually or collectively expressing their projects and designs within specific sections or exhibitions strongly contributes to the interpenetration of markets. These united energies fully express
the expectations of players, and French and international buyers and specifiers in particular.
