Paris Calling this January
/by Megan ReillyFlights are booked, Accommodations sorted, and the daily additions to our agenda have begun!
We can’t wait to return to Paris this January for MAISON&OBJET and Paris Deco Off
The annual, week-long affair, is the decorating world’s equivalent to Fashion Week. Paris Deco Off offers an endless array of interior design trade showrooms, pop-ups, and exhibitions fling open their doors to celebrate their newest collections of textiles, carpets, lighting, and furniture. Coupled with MAISON&OBJET (January 18-22) and it’s 8 halls of design objects, furnishings and accessories for the home, it’s a truly inspiring way to kick off the New Year in the City of Lights.
Last year we hosted a group of American designers with a VIP experience to MAISON&OBJET and we’ve partnered with our M&O friends again to host a day-long excursion to the fair on Monday, January 21. The day is complimentary for guests as part of our VIP program and you can see details HERE. Space is limited so hop aboard and plan to join us by RSVP’ing to Megan@WestEdgeDesignFair.com.
There is no shortage of events, parties and ways to connect with the American and global design communities while in Paris. We are working with Kneedler Fauchere to stay up to date on all the great happenings taking place. Kneedler Fauchere has been building community and promoting the January events for several years now, and each year seems to attract more and more of our American friends making the trip. Check out the KF website HERE for a list of events so far, including their welcome reception on January 16 and the highly anticipated American Party in Paris party which takes place on Friday, January 18. Get tickets for that HERE.
So many reasons to join us in Paris! And we haven’t even touched on the museums, patisseries and shopping (annual January sales, Mais Oui)… Stay tuned for more as we plan for the trip.
