M&O Designer of the Year – Pierre Charpin

Prominent French designer and scenographer, Pierre Charpin has been awarded Designer of the Year by Maison et Objet. The artist expresses himself through creating a poetic form of minimalism. He absolutely dominates the making of creative and meaningful furniture objects, from chairs to tables, to carafes, to pitchers, and the list is never-ending. In 1984, Charpin graduated from Bourges Art School and since then he has become one of the most requested artists from all over the world. Take a look at some of his amazing designs:

Inspirations 2017/2018 – Silence 

Order the Maison et Objet inspiration book nº 30, entitled Silence to learn different aspects of the design industry, to have inspirations and ideas, basically it gives tools for professionals in the fashion, decoration, and home sectors to triumph. Maison et Objet will also host a series of enriching work boosters to discuss the theme, such as conferences, a café-bookstore, and an inspirational space, each one will take place in Hall 7.

Like a remedy to the interminable racket of words and images, silence has a calming effect on the hyperactive, garrulous and loud times we live in. Home is a place where calm is restored and a growing desire for serenity can be expressed. Lifestyle and style give us the ‘silent treatment’. Beauty is unburdened from the artifice of pointless ornamentation and devotes itself to a quest for the essential. The reduction of materials, geometric abstraction, transparency, halo effects, wireframe structures, ethereal hues and black and white comprise the formal rules of silence. The spartan simplicity of archetypal shapes foster contemplative moments during which the mind is at rest. Sensitive, discrete and elegant objects re-establish inner tranquillity. Please do not disturb this sensual, poetic, harmonious and luxurious minimalism. Shh
