From Surrealism to Sur/reality

The central theme of Maison&Objet 2025, taking place January 16-20, is Sur/reality, where Maison&Objet collaborates with Peclers Paris to delve into the resurgence of Surrealism. In its 100th anniversary, Surrealism continues to inspire and fuel creative expression. This theme celebrates the legacy of iconic figures like Magritte and Dalí, whose unique aesthetics have become universal symbols, while firmly grounding the exploration in today’s contemporary context.

After Mathieu Lehanneur, Designer of the Year 2024, the Designer of the Year at Maison & Objet 2025 is British designer Faye Toogood. Her Roly-Poly armchair, featuring a soft, embracing shape, was a big hit in 2014, and is the product that gave her great fame as a designer. But her activity is all-around creative, spanning various fields. She explains, “I was born in the UK to a very English family, and we lived in the countryside. My mother was a florist and my father loved ornithology. We didn’t have television, so I read, drew, and we got up early to watch birds. Nature was our playground, I would collect all kinds of things and then spend time arranging them. This still influences my work in the way I use materials. My color palette is inspired by those landscapes.”
