WHAT’S NEW? IN HOSPITALITY
The Accor Design Awards 2024 Luxury Edition, celebrating Sofitel's 60th birthday, challenged international interior design students to rethink the hotel lobby experience. The competition, which received 100 submissions from 20 schools in 8 countries, asked students to blend art and sustainability with Sofitel's French flair. 10 finalists were selected, and three winners, one Public Choice Award, and one Head Judge Award will be announced at Maison&Objet on September 5th.

WHAT’S NEW? IN DECOR
For the What’s New? In Decor space, Elizabeth Leriche is planning a more emotional and poetic interpretation of the theme, playing on oppositions between the sky and the ground, transparency and opacity, the infinitely small and the immensely large... According to Elizabeth: "only with our eyes on the stars and our feet firmly planted on the ground can we be in touch with the universe."
For consumers, this quest for connection is increasingly linked to more spiritual practices. The answers to these expectations can be found at the exhibition. "This encompasses the entire universe of Well-Being, as well as those of magic and esotericism. Lithotherapy and astrology are real market trends," agrees Mélanie Leroy, Managing Director of Maison&Objet. "Product curation will underline sectors or sub-sectors that are currently buoyant and represent a growing trend."
Van Dang's Crystal Meditation Sets are emblematic of these new proposals. Delicately placed upon their little porcelain pedestals, these are not just beautiful objects. Used with scented oils, they are intended to allow for "communing with higher powers."
