The Best of the DLN at Paris Design Week

 

It was a packed week in Paris last week, where over 70 DLN Members converged to take in the installations, events, and collection launches at Paris DecoOff and Maison&Objet. Couldn’t make it (or simply couldn’t get to every showroom)? We’ve recapped the highlights from DLN Members and Partners below. 

 

• Lisa Staprans launched her debut book, Soul of Design, with a buzzy brunch at La Palette in St. Germain des Prés. 

• Peti Lau transformed Benjamin Moore’s booth at Maison&Objet into a globally-influenced lounge that highlight’s the company’s 2024 color trends. 

• Marmi’s second-annual pop-up displayed sculptural bath fixtures alongside modern takes on églomisé by London-based Sterling Studios. 

• Timothy Corrigan unveiled a wide-ranging trim collection for Samuel & Sons, with fringes, tassels, and more influenced by his own French homes (which served as setting to a small press launch and a city fête throughout the week). 

• Fabricut launched new collections by DLN Members Kendall Wilkinson and Denise McGaha. 

• Jiun Ho and Workshop Collection, the new furniture venture from Workshop/APD cohosted with Le Manufacture Cogolin an festive dinner at the Fondation Louis Vuitton, where guests were treated to a private viewing of the buzzy Rothko show. 

• Jiun Ho also organized a pop-up space where his fabrics and furniture were on display alongside wallpaper by Caroline Lizarragga and Sarah von Dreele, plus textiles from Parete. 

• Pierre Frey launched several new collections comprising Japanese-inspired prints, furniture, lighting in collaboration with Super Modular, and a new issue of the Natecru line. The company also unveiled its newly-renovated headquarters at a smash party on Saturday—but what a few lucky members buzzed most about was an invitation to view Marie Antoinette’s chambers at Versailles, done up in Braquenié.
