Nine standout pieces from 2016\u2019s trendsetting French design show Maison et Objet, held recently in Paris<\/strong><\/p>\n

Via: The Wall Street Journal<\/a><\/p>\n

THE PHRASE \u201cMAISON ET OBJET\u201d<\/strong><\/em> doesn\u2019t translate gracefully into English (\u201cHouse and Thing\u201d? \u201cHome and Object\u201d?). But the sprawling French trade fair touting the latest in interior and product design has become a fluent signifier of global savoir faire\u2014and an increasingly citywide event. Last week, buyers and the press descended on Paris to scope out major trends (back-to-nature primitivism), big-name previews (designer Patricia Urquiola\u2019s Deco-inspired desk accessories for Georg Jensen), techy novelties (Lumio\u2019s diary-shaped lamp\/phone charger) and covetable new essentials (Herm\u00e8s\u2019s jungle-themed porcelain). Here, our picks for the best in show.<\/p>\n
