The Theme for January 2026: The Past Reveals the Future

With the theme “the past reveals the future”, the January 2026 edition seeks to return to its roots, celebrating craftsmanship and design excellence, where creations result from a slow, embodied, and organic process.

The goal is to rediscover the origins of design in order to create new narratives around interiors and everyday objects. Furniture becomes an extension of knowledge, craftsmanship, and collective memory, carrying an aura of authenticity and history to be passed down. Design is no longer just aesthetics, it becomes a vehicle for stories, emotions, and identity.

At the heart of this edition is Harry Nuriev, named Designer of the Year. An artist and innovator, Nuriev is known for work that blurs the boundaries between craftsmanship and contemporary design. His creative manifesto, “Transformism”, invites an exploration of the transformation of objects, spaces, and their meaning, highlighting a design approach nourished by data, ideas, and narratives.

With over 30 projects a year across fashion, retail, hospitality, and culture, Nuriev leads an interdisciplinary approach that unites art, craftsmanship, and innovation. His installation at Maison&Objet will be an immersive environment defined by simplicity, space, and silence—an invitation to slow down, reflect, and rediscover the value of authentically meaningful things.

Maison&Objet once again confirms itself as the place where design leaves an indelible mark by uniting past, present, and future — an unmissable opportunity to discover new trends, meet key industry players, and draw inspiration.
