Although I don't take trends too seriously, I still find it important to know what's happening in the market. I wanted to share some micro and macro trends and my overall thoughts and reflections from Maison & Objet's Fall '24 trade show in Paris.

Here is a list of trends that caught my eye, along with artisan brands that I spotted at the show.

A Rise in Upcycling

This was quite inspiring – I saw an increase in brands working on transforming waste, from bottle caps into lighting fixtures and discarded saris into functional home décor. Instead of just saying “sustainable”, people are taking this concept further, turning trash into treasures. Bravo.
