Paris Déco Off and Maison & Objet have descended on the city, bringing designers, buyers and industry enthusiasts to its bustling streets. Wallpaper* is on the ground, trawling for the most exciting launches and emerging trends of 2026. Below, we highlight our standout presentations across furniture, textiles, objects and more. From craft-focused fabrics to versatile seating and a distinct wealth of archival revivals, these are Wallpaper’s picks from Paris Design Week, showcasing both rising currents and the enduring craftsmanship of the city’s design houses.
A study of light at Rubelli
Rubelli’s 2026 collection, ‘Luce’ – meaning ‘light’ – takes inspiration from the behaviour of light, exploring its interaction with shape, colour and space. Marking a departure from the house’s traditional botanical motifs and fundamental geometries, ‘Luce’ treats fabric as an active participant in its environment, filtering and reflecting light in captivating ways. Silks and satins such as ‘Aurora’, ‘Ripple’ and ‘Dark Lady’ reveal luminous sheens and dynamic visual effects, while jacquards like ‘Spotlight’ introduce bold geometric patterns in intense hues. Reflecting a broader trend this year, the collection also extends outdoors, with textiles designed to capture sunlight and the shimmer of the sea.
A history lesson at L’Objet
L’Objet’s ‘Grand Tour’ collection draws on the 18th- and 19th-century tradition that saw young aristocrats travel through Europe discovering classical art, architecture and natural sciences as a cultural rite of passage. Reimagined for contemporary interiors, the collection presents dinnerware as modern souvenirs. Each piece is crafted from fine porcelain, enriched with hand-applied 24ct gold and decorated through a complex multi-layer decal process that echoes the precision of pietra dura stone inlay. Illustrated botanicals evoke semi-precious stones such as jade, lapis and carnelian, recalling the objects of curiosity once gathered by grand tour travellers. The result is striking.
More looking back at Dedar
Dedar’s 2026 collection celebrates, once again, a dialogue between contemporary design and historical references. Long drawn to figurative motifs, the house now looks to tapestry traditions, reimagined tartans and kaleidoscopic patterns inspired by the Centre Pompidou, alongside cosmic influences recalling constellations, cave paintings and hieroglyphics. The palette moves from soft pastels to vibrant hues, while textures span fluid satins and sumptuous velvets to elegant mohair and handcrafted raw silks. Across fabrics and wall coverings, the collection fuses history and modernity, abstraction and figuration.
A chandelier like no other at Baccarat
Baccarat has teamed up with designer Harry Nuriev for an exhibition at Maison Baccarat. At its centre is a radically reimagined ‘Zénith’ chandelier, integrating everyday objects – pens, bottle caps, CDs, children’s toys – into its intricate crystal form. The piece embodies Nuriev’s philosophy of ‘transformism’, repurposing objects while preserving their memory and blurring the line between art and function. The exhibition also revisits Baccarat icons, including the ‘Harcourt’ glass, carafe and ‘Sirius’ crystal ball, engraved and enamelled with words and images. This collaboration reframes crystal as both a luxury and a conceptual medium, offering unexpected perspectives on classical forms.
Glass that looks like wind-blown fabric at Lalique
A lamp from ‘Alizé' Chapter II
Lalique’s ‘Air de Lalique’ collection explores the essence of air – its lightness, movement and transitory nature – rendered in crystal. It's presented in two chapters, the first introducing sculptures inspired by a gentle breeze, with satin-polished undulations, sunset hues and coral patinas, including the signature ‘Alizé’ vases and bowls. The second chapter reimagines pleated crystal as luminous lighting objects. Artistic director Marc Larminaux also unveiled a personal experiment, the neo-pop ‘Teddy Air’ series, whose forms convincingly evoke inflatable balloons. Beyond ‘Air de Lalique’, the house marks the centenary of Suzanne Lalique Haviland’s ‘Tourbillons’ vase with a coral reissue, and also expands into artistic collaborations – with Chinese artist Fang Lijun and the Magritte Foundation.
Elegant furniture at Leleu
Maison Leleu unveiled ‘Classiques Modernes’, a collection that revisits the house’s art deco heritage while embracing the freer, bolder and more feminine direction introduced by Alexia Leleu. Iconic designs – including the ‘Ève’, ‘Coco’ and ‘Marilyn’ chaise longues and the ‘Aglaé’ cabinet – are reinterpreted using contemporary materials, notably Dedar fabrics. The presentation is enriched by contemporary jewellery from Catherine Le Gal and a curated selection of artworks developed in collaboration with Spaceless Gallery. The resulting dialogue between craft, materiality and modern expression feels genuinely fresh, underscoring Leleu’s ongoing reinvention of French haute décoration.
Liberty opens the archive
To mark its 150th anniversary, Liberty has unveiled ‘The House of Liberty’ wallpaper collection, drawing on more than 60,000 archival designs. The collection distills the company's history into three chapters – ’Arts Club’ (1860-1875), ‘Town House’ (1875-1910) and ‘Painter’s House’ (1960-1980) – reinterpreting historic patterns for contemporary interiors. Seventeen hand-painted designs span panoramic murals, wide-width landscapes, floral trails, painterly ditsies, refined geometric and grasscloth finishes, all rooted in Liberty’s distinctive palette and textural richness.
Indoor-outdoor versatility at Ginori 1735
Ginori 1735’s ‘Domus’ capsule collection, designed by Luca Nichetto, brings together furniture, lighting and decorative objects with a fluid indoor-outdoor sensibility. Many pieces are designed to transition seamlessly between settings, reflecting a growing emphasis on versatility. Presented as a series of environments – outdoor, lounge, dining, office and café – the exhibition evokes a range of moods, from quiet contemplation to social vitality. A highlight is the ‘LaVenus’ chair, a sculptural reinterpretation of the brand’s classic armchair. Throughout the collection, Nichetto articulates a holistic vision of contemporary living that is playful, elegant and responsive to evolving lifestyles.
Silk Road-inspired textiles at Fischbacher 1819
Fischbacher 1819 unveiled the ‘Silk Road Collection’, a textile narrative inspired by the historic East-West trade routes. Drawing on the landscapes, crafts and artefacts encountered along the Silk Road, the collection translates deserts, mountains and ancient cities into rich textures, patterns and materials. Spanning upholstery, drapery, wall coverings and decorative elements, the palette moves from sun-warmed neutrals and mineral tones to the deep blues and greens of Central Asia and Persia. Sustainability is integral, with recycled and natural fibres used throughout. The result is a celebration of cultural exchange, reimagined through a contemporary lens.
An icon reimagined at Agapecasa
The re-edition of the 1959 Schwob Table
Agapecasa continues this year’s theme revisiting of design heritage with the re-edition of the 1959 ‘Schwob’ table by Angelo Mangiarotti and Bruno Morassutti. Defined by the essential forms, structural precision and material honesty of the 1950s, the piece was originally designed for Villa Schwob in La Chaux-de-Fonds. The table joins the broader ‘Mangiarotti Collection’ – alongside the ‘Eros’ table, ‘Tre3’ chairs, ‘Cavalletto’ system and ‘CAP53’ vases – together articulating a dialogue between historic architecture, midcentury innovation and contemporary reinterpretation.
Global craftsmanship at De Le Cuona
De Le Cuona leaned into another key theme of the week: craftsmanship. An installation featuring the short film True Luxury Takes Time accompanied a preview of the ‘Woven Earth’ collection, inspired by global landscapes ranging from Chinese rice paddies to American deserts and Incan trails. The collection explores the meticulous process of transforming natural fibres into luxurious textiles, with sculptural seating and layered fabrics inviting visitors to engage with the pieces firsthand. Through this immersive presentation, De Le Cuona underscores its commitment to heritage, sustainability and the poetry of global craft traditions.
Tactile wall coverings at Élitis
Part of the ‘Lanzarote’ wall covering collection
Élitis’ 2026 wallcovering collections transform walls into sensorial canvases, balancing delicacy with intensity. Crafted from silk, handmade papers, natural fibres, weaves and mineral textures, the designs draw inspiration from Japanese aesthetics, 1930s-40s modernism and volcanic landscapes. The ‘Écume’ range evokes the ocean through gesso shells, metallic jacquards and mother-of-pearl patinas. ‘Lanzarote’ translates basalt and aquamarine into textured surfaces, while ‘Madagascar Arrowroot Raw Raffia’ blends tropical fibres with luminous highlights. Élitis has created wallcoverings that are both visually striking and tactilely engaging, elevating walls into truly memorable surfaces.
Playing with light at Sahco
Sahco unveiled ‘Linger’, an upholstery and drapery collection that plays with light, illusion and texture. The fourth release from creative director Bengt Thornefors draws on a wide range of artistic influences – from Bettina Rheims’ sharp femininity to Mark Borthwick’s luminous water – with textiles moving from Lurex birds on sheer organza and rippling matte cotton to transparent twills, eel-skin-like surface and light-catching jacquards. A standout is 'Firo', a shimmering modern tartan woven in Norway. The palette stays restrained but rich, with blacks, whites, greys, greens, purples, navies, pinks and a touch of red, all presented within a grand, Berlin-inspired scenography.
Setting the scene at Nordic Knots x Marie-Anne Derville
Nordic Knots presented ‘Scène d’Intérieur’, a new interior narrative by Marie-Anne Derville. Set in a Paris apartment designed by Andrée Putman at Hôtel d’Hallwyll – once Derville’s home – the installation explores the life of a collector. The space functions as a living archive, where subtle traces – a glass by the bed, an open book, a slightly displaced chair – suggest a life in motion. Nordic Knots’ new ‘Grand’ rug colours – Emerald, Sakura and Pecan – are the focal points, layering jewel-green depth, springlike blush and a warm leather-like glow across antiques, M.A.D furniture and contemporary pieces.
A tradition reimagined at Ateliers Lison de Caunes
Artist-designer Garance Vallée was invited by Ateliers Lison de Caunes to reinterpret straw marquetry for Paris Design Week, bringing the craft into a modern era. In her first engagement with the tradition, Vallée merges the art deco legacy of André Groult with her hybrid aesthetic of geometric and organic motifs. A standout piece is a one-of-a-kind folding screen featuring trompe-l’œil effects and varied volumes, combining straw marquetry with engraved steel and aluminium by master metalworker François Pouenat. The work balances traditional craft with digital tools for a bold, transgenerational reinterpretation.
Monde Singulier x Necchi Architecture
'Ec8' is Necchi Architecture’s first furniture collection, created exclusively for Monde Singulier. Designed by Charlotte Albert and Alexis Lamesta, it reinterprets family furniture through deliberate anachronism, embracing its bourgeois roots while adding modern humour and irreverence. The collection juxtaposes matte and glossy finishes, noble and modest materials, and industrial processes with artisanal craftsmanship. Drawing on art deco and modernist references, it features rich lacquer tones – deep burgundy and green – paired with unexpected contrasts and stainless steel accents. Each piece is designed to be passed down as a family heirloom while remaining practical for everyday use.
Pierre Yovanovitch
Alongside his collection with Ecart, Pierre Yovanovitch introduced ‘Beauregard’ at Paris Design Week. Named after the historic townhouse that houses his Paris headquarters, the collection blends past and present through curved silhouettes, sculptural volumes and luminous detailing. ‘Beauregard’ comprises nine pieces – dining table, chairs, desk, three coffee tables, console, daybed and desk lamp – crafted in natural or dark-stained aerogommé chestnut. Lacquered bases in blue, brown, red or black highlight the clean lines, while brass sabots add refined accents. Each piece requires more than 50 hours of craftsmanship, with 20-30 layers of lacquer applied by master artisans.
Opulent patterns at Lelièvre
Lelièvre Paris took over La Pagoda, a historic Parisian landmark, to unveil three new collections, staged by designer Edgar Jayet. ‘Escales Lointaines’ explores travel through materials, weaving exotic landscapes with basketry-inspired textures, maritime knot geometries, botanical and Asian references and occasional metallic yarns. ‘Îles du Vent’ is the brand’s first in/outdoor line, inspired by Caribbean light, lush jungles and sunlit shores, blending tropical vibes with outdoor performance. Finally, ‘Festivités 2026 – Quenin’ revisits historical brand Quenin's heritage with bold, opulent materials and theatrical patterns, celebrating French hedonism, luxurious entertaining and the art of décor.
Bringing the outdoors in at Little Greene
Little Greene’s sixth wallpaper collection with the National Trust, ‘In the Garden’, celebrates gardens and the people who created them. The eight designs draw from formal landscapes, private plant collections and historical floral artefacts cared for by the Trust, with each pattern coordinating with Little Greene paint shades. Highlights include ‘May’s Tulip’, inspired by Arts & Crafts designer May Morris, ‘Castle Garden’, based on Sissinghurst’s iconic garden rooms, and ‘Mr Straw’s Greenhouse’, featuring a 1930s Nottinghamshire grocer’s cactus collection.
