From the new Elliott Barnes rugs for Tai Ping to the Fisher Weisman light fixtures installed at the de Gournay showroom to the latest sumptuous textiles from de le Cuona, Pierre Frey, Fabricut, and Élitis, Paris proved to be a wellspring of inspiration. But more importantly it rejuvenated everyone’s spirit as old friends joined new acquaintances at dinners, drinks, and presentations on both sides of the Seine. While the days were long, the unseasonably beautiful weather and renewed sense of creative spirit made Maison & Objet and Déco Off a week to remember.
