Divided into two broad categories: Maison (home and interiors) and Objet (objects and accessories), the aptly named Maison & Objet will take place at Parc des Expositions in Villpinte, with programing throughout the city as part of a collaborative effort with Paris Design Week. The city-wide event will spread across the left and right banks, in showrooms and galleries from The Marais to Saint Germain.
