Villepinte, July 13, 2026 – Maison&Objet and Paris Design Week are set to honor the new generation of contemporary design in September 2026. This celebration will take place through two prominent initiatives: (im)Pulse, inaugurated at the Parc des Expositions de Paris-Nord Villepinte, and Paris Design Week Factory, a discovery trail in the Marais district of Paris. These events are poised to be essential gatherings for those keen on following the emergence of creative talents.
Villepinte Embraces Emerging Talents with (im)Pulse at Maison&Objet
For its September 2026 edition, the Parc des Expositions de Paris-Nord Villepinte will introduce a highly anticipated new feature: the (im)Pulse spaces. This innovative initiative within Maison&Objet, running from September 10 to 14, 2026, is designed as a launchpad for selected brands recognized for their uniqueness, freshness, and growth potential. The fair thus reinforces its role as a platform for discovering and supporting contemporary creation.
The (im)Pulse zones, distributed across several areas within the fair, are the result of collaborations with organizations dedicated to supporting creative professionals, including Ulule, Pépite France, the City of Paris, and Émergence. Together, they aim to unveil projects brimming with new ideas and concrete innovations. This program complements two well-established initiatives: the Rising Talent Awards, which recognize young international talents, and Future On Stage, dedicated to innovative companies. In Seine-Saint-Denis, the fair confirms its role as a breeding ground for tomorrow’s creation.
Through (im)Pulse, Maison&Objet is building a coherent ecosystem around emerging design talents, offering rare visibility to brands that might otherwise lack such exposure. Visitors to the fair will have the opportunity to explore diverse creative worlds, from reinvented everyday objects to daring proposals, all within a discovery path designed to foster encounters between professionals, enthusiasts, and trendsetters.
Paris Design Week Factory: A Marais Journey Through Contemporary Design
In parallel with the fair, Paris Design Week Factory offers an immersion into current creation through an exhibition trail rooted in the Marais district. Conceived by curators Jean-Baptiste Durand and Simon Geringer, this trail explores the power of objects and the diversity of practices that characterize contemporary design. Moving beyond a uniform vision, the intention is to highlight multiple approaches, ranging from edition design to collection pieces, including artisanal creations.
Several Parisian venues will host the exhibitions for this 2026 edition:
- L’Espace Commines
- Le 116 rue de Turenne
- Le 10 rue de Turenne
- Le 16 rue des Minimes
These locations, all situated in the Marais, form a cohesive route that invites visitors to wander through creations and discover designers, studios, and publishers chosen for the relevance and originality of their approach. Each space offers its unique interpretation of design, reflecting a commitment to diversity.
Paris Design Week Factory is thus part of a broader dynamic championed jointly by Paris Design Week and Maison&Objet: to support and promote the new voices of French and international design. By bringing together creators with varied practices under a single guiding principle, the program offers visitors a vibrant and pluralistic vision of what contemporary creation can be today, far beyond conventional circuits.
The events are scheduled from September 10 to September 14, 2026, at the Parc des expositions de Paris-Nord Villepinte.
