Maison et Objet
Since 1995, Maison&Objet has been a leading force in the international community of decoration, design, and art of living. It brings together brands and fosters fruitful international encounters, amplifying their visibility through shows and its digital platform.
Maison&Objet has a unique instinct for promoting emerging trends that shape the world of decoration. Its mission is to showcase talent, facilitate exchanges and inspiration, and support business growth. Maison&Objet hosts two annual trade shows for professionals and organises Paris Design Week in September, serving as a vital industry barometer.
Since 2016, their online platform MOM (Maison&Objet and More) has enabled continuous communication, allowing buyers and brands to connect, launch new collections, and make contacts beyond physical meetings. Weekly product showcases keep the sector active and engaged.
In 2023, Maison&Objet plans to introduce three new transactional tools as part of their expanded digital services. Maison&Objet Academy now offers professionals an exclusive monthly web channel dedicated to training and market analysis, further enriching their offerings.
The community, which includes nearly one million active participants, remains engaged on social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Xing, WeChat, and TikTok, with daily discoveries and updates.
Alexandre Joncas, Head Designer, Studio d’Armes
“darc magazine demonstrates again and again the relevance of having a magazine entirely dedicated to the world of lighting. Its quality of editing and writing has always made the creations of d’Armes shine. And, it is refreshing to be able to take our eyes off the screen and immerse ourselves in a printed publication.”
Jo Littlefair, Director & Co-founder, Goddard Littlefair
“darc continues to go from strength to strength and is increasingly visible in the design community, thanks to its great layout and content, as well as a lively programme of awards and events that ensures it really engages with its core readership.”
David Trubridge Design Studio
“darc has been wonderful for us because the magazine has accepted us into the global lighting community, despite our remoteness in New Zealand from the main centres of the world. One gets the sense that some magazines are a very closed shop, but not so darc, and this should assure readers that they really are seeing the best and most interesting lighting in the world. Some people would argue that magazines are a thing of the past, but darc has managed to create its own successful model that bucks this trend and we are very happy to be a part of it.”
Tzetzy Naydenova, Managing Partner, VISO
“I love the fact that darc focuses only on light. Every issue offers interesting and relevant content, both in copy and visuals. The exceptional team makes sure that every issue has global appeal, and that is why darc is the go-to publication for VISO.”
Robert Sonneman, Founder & Creative Visionary, Sonneman – A Way of Light
“As an individual that takes incredible pride in the challenge and refinement of craft, my team and I are consistently impressed with the quality of work that darc puts forth in each issue. As a champion of the dynamic field of contemporary lighting, darc delivers engaging content, prestigious awards programming, and vibrant events time after time – all of which we are honoured to have been apart of over the last few years.”
Ellie Coombes, Nulty+
“darc combines beauty and inspiration with knowledge and insight. The dedicated team at darc understand light as a medium as well as a fixture. An integral part of the lighting industry they keep us all in touch and up-to-date through considered and visually stimulating content. Needless to say, you are never far from a copy of darc in the Nulty studio.”
Andrew Harwood, Former Projects Director DesignLSM
“I have been reading darc for the past five years; the team and myself find it to be a continuous source for new and innovative lighting inspiration. Each edition features a great focus on new to market products and lighting schemes, which capture the true essence of creative design.”
