Although I am back home from Saturday night, I really did not found the time to post about our trip to Paris for the Maison & Objet exhibition.
It was a very nice but exhausted visit.
I have taken a lot of pictures but I will show you here some impressions of Maison & Objet and a few of my favorite pictures.
There were so many items to discover as table wear and table linen, bedlinen, fabrics,...but I have to say that I was in particular interested in furniture and lighting companies.
I hope you will enjoy this little tour!

At the entrance, beautiful coloured presentations of Maison Hermès!

I am so thankful that they all did an effort to meet us there!!
So a few cocktails and glasses of Champagne later, we kissed good bye and went to our hotel room because we were all tired of walking around at Maison & Objet during the day.
Hotel Le Tourville
This is the hotel where we (Jan and me) stayed.
We haven't seen a lot of Paris itself of course, but driving from the Maison & Objet exhibition to the hotel, who was situated in the heart of Paris, we had a beautiful sightseeing of Paris.
.
I hope that I inspired you to visit Maison & Objet in September!

Looks like a wonderful time, Greet. I'm sure your head is spinning with lots of creative, new ideas! xo Lidy
ReplyDeleteI was so impressed with maison & objet when I was there last year. Some of the booths are just phenomenal! Even more impressive are the CROWDS of people in that immense collection of halls though. I've never seen such huge interior spaces!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOOOOO MANY GORGEOUS THINGS!
ReplyDeleteTHANKS FOR SHARING!
TAKE CARE,
ROSA
Greet,
ReplyDeletewelcome back,and thank you for sharing.
Maison and objets is always nice, shame you didn't saw more of Paris, I am always there for shopping :-)
ReplyDeleteDavid
Greet!! It looks like a fabulous time. I am loving the lighting from the JNL stand, the tree trunk objects, and the antler chandelier. Sounds like you had a fun time meeting up with the other bloggers. It was neat to see their faces too! Hugs:)
ReplyDeleteMust make a trip there just for the store, m&o.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!

Greet, I'm so glad you were able to go and meet up with some fellow bloggers! What a beautiful show and thank you for sharing your pictures! In the old days one would not have been able to take pictures without permission, they must have relaxed the rules;-)
ReplyDeleteA feast for the eyes! It must have been really something to see it in person. Love all the blogger photos-so fun!!!
ReplyDeleteOH my Gosh! you must be having a fantastic time, I just almost screamed at some of the photo's Fabulous. Thank you so much..
ReplyDeleteyvonne
awsome!!!!
Thank you for the fantastic tour of the show, and the pictures of the get-together with the bloggers. You looked like you all were having a grand time. Hope the Paris trip was a success all around.
ReplyDeleteMarjorie
Thanks for the photos - I would love to go one day. I can relate to not knowing what company belongs to a photo. You think you will remember at the time, but you end up with tons of business cards and brochures, that it's easy to forget.
ReplyDeleteGreet,
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are home safe and sound. What a fabulous trip, though I know you are exhausted. I'm always in need of a day at home in quiet after a trip like that. So hope I can go in the fall. And, so glad you got to meet some fellow bloggers. So fun! Missed hearing from you.
Talk soon.
Greet, wonderful images!! I am so glad you attended this wonderful event!
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing us ! It's fun to see. I hope that you are pleased with the trip.

Hoi Greet, zo je heb een druk weekend achter de rug en heel veel mooie dingen gezien. Prachtig de luchter van een gewei en de deuren van het Portershuis, is dat van Pieter Porter?
ReplyDeleteJullie verbleven in een prachtig hotel.
Fijne dag en rust maar lekker uit.
Lieve groet, Mea

Hallo Greet, dat was vast een geweldig leuk weekend! De beurs was zo te zien zeer de moeite waard, voor elk wat wils. Wat bijzonder dat je een aantal bloggers van andere continenten hebt ontmoet.
ReplyDeleteGroet Hennie
Hi Greet! You got some great shots there!We were glad to have met everyone too!
ReplyDeleteThe show was so much to take in! The Pieters Porter was gorgeous. Belgian design right? Hey you guys must have eaten all the macaroons by the time we got there!!!!!Maryanne xo

Thank you for sharing such beautiful photos of the show as well as the great bloggers who got to meet. what fun!!
ReplyDeleteWow, how times have changed in two short years! I went to M&O two years ago and there was no blogger interested at all!! So wish I could have gone this year!
ReplyDeleteHello Greet, I love your post about M & O . I can see you took a lot of pictures. DId you have a press pass ?
ReplyDeleteThe brand you don't remember the name , isn't it Bleu Nature ?
I saw a lot of Belgian companies there . That is fabulous to see what others bloggers like and what they saw , we are all so diferent . I'm not as positive as you about M & O.
For lightings , I love Lustrerie Mathieu , I don't know if they has a stand this year in M& O and for potteries I love a brand which is pretty close to me in Aubagne : Poterie Ravel ( you can't still see them working on terracotta ).
I wish I could have met you in Hotel Duo
Looks like you had a great time, I would love to be able to make it to the next M&O. Thank you for sharing

Hi Greet,
ReplyDeleteI stumbled across your blog through Karena, and have enjoyed browsing your blog...very inspirational.
The Maison and Objet exhibition in Paris looked amazing..wished I could have been there....still waiting and hoping for that one day trip to Paris :) Anna
Hi Greet,
ReplyDeleteGreat blog, I love looking at your inspiring photographs. Belgium is my all out favourite country in the whole wide world, having lived there for 8 years before our recent move to Tokyo, and having bought a beautiful house on the Schoten/'sGravenwezel border, so looking at your blog fills in some gaps and makes me yearn to come back. I received my Stijlvol Wonen magazine yesterday and await Tijdloos and Wonen Landlijke Stijl with anticipation (just enquiring about having Landelijke Wonen delivered too! The Belgian publications are the best. I found Libeco recently and just bought a couple of beautiful fine flax table runners, heaven. My husband is traveling to Antwerp on the weekend, I wish I could be in his place, so that I could bring back some little beauties to decorate our apartment. As it is, I have beautiful big glass vases filled with Promax candles, blonde basketware and oodles of terracotta ware that my Japanese friends drool over, if only I could work out a way to bring these beautiful things over to sell here, wouldn't that be wonderful, but I think that the import duty would kill me!
Love your company's beautiful carpentry work, maybe one day if/when we return to our house, I will call on you for some help.
Greetings from sunny Tokyo

ReplyDeleteHoi Greet,

Groetjes
It was so lovely to meet you, Maryanne and your husbands...we had a fabulous time! Thanks for sharing all the pics of MO too - I just have a few snaps from my iphone! Love the new layout! Tracey xx
ReplyDeleteHi Greet, Finally home and had such a wonderful time in Paris. Was so fabulous to meet you and Maryanne, Peter & Jan. I also spent the last couple of nights of my trip at the Tourville Hotel....it was so lovely! Hope you have a good weekend. Ax
ReplyDeleteI really like the brand that joao was talking. They are incredible indeed. Other brand from Portugal that I quite like is Delightfull. It’s a lighting design brand that uses the imaginary around the music and the 40’s until 70’s decades. They do a wonderful job, you must see it. Take a look at www.delightfull.eu.
ReplyDeleteBelgian State is rich in flowers.Indonesia also rich with tropical flowers, especially in the City Batu.Please visit my web site at www.edi.winarto.com or http:/edwin-blogspotnews.blogspot.com in this web site will be discussed tourism Indonesia, Indonesian culture, a typical Indonesian food drinks and flowers.
