Paris Design Week 2024
A Celebration of Creativity and Innovation
One of the most exciting additions to this year’s event is the presence of the Puces de Saint-Ouen, the world’s largest antiques market. This market, also known as the “world’s attic,” is brimming with one-of-a-kind and high-quality items. The Puces de Saint-Ouen, in collaboration with Maison&Objet, will transport visitors to a world where history and modernity collide.
Medhy Allaouchiche, President of the Marché aux Puces, highlights the growing influence of second-hand goods on the French lifestyle, emphasizing the preference for physical markets over online platforms, as revealed by a recent survey. He describes the Puces de Saint-Ouen as a true design museum, offering a wide range of items, from mirrors and chandeliers to unique furniture pieces. During the Maison&Objet fair, the Puces will be showcased in Hall 7B, under the theme “A Room with a View,” featuring a hotel suite-inspired set design with authentic and iconic pieces.
