Maison&Objet 2024

 

Solli and I went to Maison & Objet on Friday.

The day after opening day (Thursday) is a lot less hectic as far as crowds go.

Remember I showed you these whimsical Italian glasses at BHV
Someone in a witty T-shirt (from Drole de Monsieur) that excuses all gauche behavior.
But as far as things to see ๐Ÿ‘️ That’s a different story. Too much!
We both came home and collapsed ๐Ÿ›Œ 
Fortunately there will always be sheep ๐Ÿ‘ at MO
Butter dish from Amsterdam (18€) Maybe that’s wholesale? Too cute.
I nailed 12,500 steps (3,400 is my norm). 
I mostly walk from my desk to the refrigerator and back many times a day - an artist’s life ๐ŸŽจ Savage, herbie-scented aux natural accessories (French) for the home ๐Ÿก 
Beautiful, Clean design from Danemark 
Lemons ๐Ÿ‹ are IN!
I learned from Solli that those lemons ๐Ÿ‹ you see filled with citron sorbet are called ‘givrรฉ’ in Italy. 
Galeries Lafayette Gourmet has a Fruittini popup stand full of all sorbet-filled fruits (11€ for one. I’d rather go to Italy ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น). Although if they had been at MO I would have paid double. The snacks on available are dreadful. Mostly UPFs ๐Ÿ‘Ž
Except for tea makers, Mariage Frรจres, who had trรจs cher ice cream sandwiches (18€)
Solli inhales their Noรซl blend…
Beautifully colored tins as always…
MF had their own special tea-infused restaurant for billionaires I guess…we passed. We brought our own snacks ๐ŸŒ Still you get bored with bananas ๐Ÿ™„
Many beautiful plates ๐Ÿฝ️ 
Autumn-themed dinnerware ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ„ ๐Ÿฟ️ from Au Bain Marie.
More Autumn collections with a helping hand from model Claudia Schiffer (who was sadly not onsite) from Portugeuse Bordallo Pinheiro.
Another celeb who did show up & gave a lecture, Cordelia of Cordelia’s Coffee Flower shop.
Fun! Anything lobster ๐Ÿฆž gets my vote.
Anything radish also gets my vote…like this teething ring 
The best shoe 
I only discovered a place to chill as I was leaving MO
I always try to leave before the masses do…
I can get a seat & sketch ✍️ on the RER B home ๐Ÿก I was studying hairdos…
MO is on through Monday. Run go see it ๐Ÿƒ‍♂️ 
Thank you Patty

    Wow! I couldn’t get enough of all your photos…so much temptation to oogle!! The sensory overload, trying to take everything in, must be fatiguing! Would love to go to M&O one of these days. Thanks for taking us along, Carol.

      It must help if one is focused with an objective in mind. I’m free-floating just looking for eye-candy ๐Ÿญ mainly color, shape, patterns of which there are plenty.

    The Mariage Freres tea caught my eye with the “Tear of the Rabbit” which seemed a comforting tea name. Then I looked closer to see it really reads “YEAR of the rabbit”. Sigh. Jeanette s.

    Did it actually cost 80 euros to visit a tradeshow? Merri

      It does for the trade. It’s a huge international show.
      We have press passes and get accreditation.

  9. Wow, that was fun to follow along with. I like the bitter dish, colourful mugs and sheep. 58 euros for brunch seems crazy though! Merci Carol
