Design – At Maison & Objet 2024, trend hunter Elisabeth Le Riche plunges us into the heart of dreamlike, inspiring nature to curate the What’s New? In Decor exhibition. In line with the main theme of Tech-Eden, Leriche offers an overview of a bohemian, artsy, vibrant, and joyful vision that gives us a new form of expressionism in its shapes, materials, and nuances.

At the Parisian fair, she literally created Nouveaux Mondes – New Worlds. “Immerse yourself in the warm tones of the earthy desert, the flowing serenity of the ocean, and the vibrant heat of the tropical primaeval forest.” As an expert in trends, scenography, and creative direction, Leriche has carefully chosen “colours and materials that transport you to the natural wonders of tomorrow.”
Indeed, visitors are immersed in a plush kaleidoscopic interior design where everything speaks of bespoke savoir-faire. For example, a mesmerising tropical submarine environment thrives with corals and plants that, as you look closer, reveal themselves to be vases, furniture, and lighting designs. As a hymn to biodiversity, the setting features furniture by Roche Bobois, Ay Illuminate’s jellyfish-like lamps, and Tarkett’s sustainable wallpapers.
Le Riche also explores new contemporary patterns. All spaces almost explode with colours and details. The exhibition comprises Pierre Frey textiles, eco-design fabrics by BienFait Paris, CC-Tapis’s exquisite carpets, pieces by Mutina Ceramiche, and furniture by Ligne Roset and USM.
At the What’s New? In Decor exhibition, the colour range is warm and muted. Materials are authentic, rustic, or more sophisticated. Textile coverings come in natural materials such as felt and wool bouclé. The overall interior design comprises artwork-like pieces that form a collection guided by eclecticism and a pictorial scene.
