Maison et Objet is where design and décor reach their zenith. It's the hub where creativity knows no limits, a space where artistry and aesthetics converge to reshape our living spaces. This year, Maison et Objet wowed us with a dazzling theme: "Enjoy: In the quest of pleasure”, a thrilling invitation to rediscover the joy in our living spaces. It's an ethos that resonates deeply with Lagavi.

As Lagavi got onto this journey, we couldn't help but be enthralled by the vibrant objects on display. The show was a kaleidoscope of colors, extravagance, audacity, and humor. Each brand proudly showcased these elements in this new edition of Maison et Objet. The hedonistic spirit and the desires of designers were vividly evident, and the trends forecasted were nothing short of fascinating.

One such trend was the "Pattern Factory," where a joyful clash of shapes, colors, and inspirations took center stage. It was a spirited celebration of life, and Lagavi couldn't help but fall in love with the boldness and vibrancy on display. Another trend, "Wonder Nature," tapped into the harmonious connection between nature and our living spaces. It was all about bringing flowers and greenery closer to our hearts. 

What truly captured our attention was the celebration of sustainability, a value deeply cherished by Lagavi. In a world where ecological consciousness is paramount, Maison et Objet showcased innovative sustainable designs. We were particularly fascinated by "Repulp design," which recycles orange peels to craft biodegradable coffee cups, a small yet significant revolution in tableware.

Speaking of tableware, how can we not talk about ceramics? Several brands at the event left us mesmerized with their tableware collection. Les Ottomans, hailing from Italy, curated under the Pattern Factory theme by Elizabeth Leriche, presented a collection that was retro-inspired, bursting with tropical motifs and a riot of colors. Fern and Co., located in Turkey, captured our hearts with their "Joy" collection. Vibrant, vivid colors, playful patterns, and a dash of nostalgia made their pieces a delightful discovery.

Bitossi Home in collaboration with Pangea, another Italian brand, wowed us with the "Passion fruit" collection. Vivid and vibrant colors, chic and quirky designs, and a cheerful spirit were the hallmarks of this collection. Pottery and Poetry, based in Bulgaria, caught our eye with their bold and confident use of colors and hues. Each piece was a masterpiece, where art met functionality.

Denise A Table, from Belgium charmed us with their vintage-inspired designs, checkered patterns, and floral motifs. It was a collection that screamed "summer outdoor dinner parties." And then there was Bordallo Pinheiro from Portugal, inspired by flora and fauna. Their creations beautifully translated the wonders of nature into ceramic art, merging functionality with artistry.
