Everyone’s attention in on Paris now and its amazing trade show of lifestyle and home decoration. Maison et Objet is an enormous bazaar of style, a show of shows that’s filled with everything from luxurious fabrics and furniture to housewares. It has over 3,000 exhibitors that come from around the world—but the booths epitomize Parisian savoir faire.
