SUMMARY:Maison & Object 2026 - Past Reveals Future
DESCRIPTION:Design draws from its roots to rise higher. \nAt the crossroads of raw material and contemporary form\, a quiet strength emerges. Furniture is no longer just a succession of pieces: it becomes the extension of knowledge\, of craft\, of memory. What emanates from it goes beyond aesthetics: it is an aura\, a breath\, a trace of the past carried into the future. Each creation belongs to an organic continuity\, a slow\, embodied transformation. \nMaison&Objet highlights a living design: where every piece carries the imprint of a story in the making. \nLearn more: https://www.maison-objet.com/en/paris

SUMMARY:DESIGN IN THE AGE OF TRANSITIONS
DESCRIPTION:COVID\, climate change\, wars\, gender struggles and new technology acceleration: recent events question the societal choices we have made in the past years. As we realize that change is the only constant in our personal and professional lives\, we recognize that business as usual cannot be the answer. To change direction\, we need a different perspective\, a different type of leadership. In the Age of Transitions\, comes Design Leadership. Design is an alternative route to regenerate business\, technology\, and ultimately our lives. We need to design for impact\, to transform our behaviors\, usher in new ways of working and collaborating… Designers by nature thrive in times of transitions\, focused as they are on improving existing situations and envisioning a better world\, as well as their ability to remain creative despite the turmoil. Meet experienced design leaders making a difference in industry and academia\, as well as the game-changers from the World Design Organization and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. \nWebsite \nWDO Member: Dassault Systèmes
