Terra Cosmos: the theme of Maison&Objet – September 2024
Connection, immersion, virtuality, smart materials, 3D, AI… A part of the fantasy is becoming reality and consumers, inspired by new aesthetics, are ready for immersive, sensory experiences. This is exactly what the next edition of Maison&Objet will offer its visitors with Terra Cosmos.

Cosmic phenomena in the hospitality and retail sectors
The theme of the new edition of Maison&Objet can be easily seen in the hospitality and retail sectors.
Just think of Danish chef Rasmus Munk, who, in his restaurant in Copenhagen, Alchemist, offers a “holistic” menu in an immersive setting. Cosmic effects also characterize El Cosmico hotel, in a deserted Texan landscape. This luxury campsite will soon be equipped with 3D-printed dwellings allowing the guests to observe the celestial vault.
From the Acne Studios boutique to the Moncler pop-up store in Tokyo, the cosmic references in retail can be found also in futuristic decors and digital shopping experiences. Avantgarde aesthetics are paving the way for a new form of consumerism with physical spaces that seem to come from the metaverse.

The materials of the future
Based on the assumption that our society is increasingly open to the unknown, the fair will be an opportunity to discover next-generation materials that look toward the future: iridescent, sophisticated, evocative and intense. Even the shapes of the products, round and oval, will emphasize the cosmic aspect of the exhibition. Therefore, these design novelties will evoke the beginning of a pre-futuristic space era of research and innovation and new environmental goals.

What’s New in Retail, Hospitality and Decor
The Terra Cosmos theme will inspire the whole show, from product curation to events and the visitor route. Through the eyes of the curators, François Delclaux and Elizabeth Leriche, visitors will get a well-honed insight into the theme. The What’s New? In Retail and What’s New? In Decor spaces will feature a wide range of products integrated into inspiring displays ready to amaze visitors with their materials, shapes and colors. On the other hand, the What’s New? In Hospitality space will be assigned entirely to Lionel Jadot, Designer of the Year 2024.
Immersive settings, masterclasses with key opinion leaders, and round table discussions will address this edition’s theme with enthusiasm and deep interest.

Maison&Objet 2024 unveils the winners of the Rising Talents Awards
This year, the Maison&Objet team has set its compass towards the Arctic Circle to choose the winners of the 2024 Rising Talents Awards. In keeping with tradition, the winners are all under the age of 35, and launched their studios less than five years ago. The geographical area covers the Scandinavian countries of Sweden, Denmark, and Norway, plus Finland and Iceland. The vast glow of the midnight sun bathes the land in a light most fertile for design.
“The Nordic countries as a whole are extremely dynamic and underpinned by a rich history, world-renowned talent, and considerable expertise. Northern Europe has a different relationship with time and natural materials, which are often left in their rawest state. The younger generation is asserting its new language, often close to that of Craft and Collectible Design,” said Dereen O’Sullivan, head of the Rising Talents Awards at Maison&Objet.
