Wan Chai Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre | Maison & Objet Intérieurs Hong Kong 2025

Description

As a leading global design, interior design, and lifestyle brand, Maison&Objet will make a grand return to Hong Kong in 2025 with a revitalized "Maison&Objet Intérieurs Hong Kong 2025," revolutionizing the traditional professional exhibition model and revealing the future blueprint of interior design.

Following its highly acclaimed debut in Hong Kong in 2024, the exhibition returns this year under the new brand name "Maison&Objet Intérieurs Hong Kong," with "Crossroads" as its annual theme, celebrating cultural convergence, sustainable innovation, and the fusion of traditional craftsmanship and cutting-edge design. The exhibition aims to further solidify Hong Kong's position as a key Asian hub for design, lifestyle, innovative concepts, and international collaboration.

The exhibition will be held from December 3 to 6, 2025 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, bringing three core elements: "Inspiration," "Discovery," and "Encounters," creating a brand-new creative event for Asian design professionals:

• The first themed exhibition area, "Design Factory," will inspire visitors, with four pavilions curated by talented international designers, delving into the 2025 theme of "Crossroads."

• "Design Showcase" will guide visitors on a further journey of discovery, inviting nine internationally renowned design studios to jointly present a panoramic view of interior design.

• "Le Club," the VIP business lounge, will provide a platform for networking, allowing design industry professionals to enjoy fine dining, meet new friends, and spark new creative collaboration opportunities.

1. Design Factory

Design Factory aims to surprise and inspire, focusing on sustainability, material innovation, and cultural dialogue. It showcases design features, objects, and furniture through groundbreaking artistic techniques, offering positive solutions to the modern world. Four immersive pavilions are meticulously presented by curators with an international perspective:

Pavilion 1 – "Shifted Mirrors: Fragments of a Dreamed East," curated by Clélie Debehault, Liv Vaisberg (Belgium), and Ann Chan (Hong Kong SAR)

The pavilion comprises 300-square-meter, room-like islands, each exploring the translation and fusion of cultures, and the material poetics between East and West. Inspired by literati studies, Japanese tea rooms, Korean sharangfang (traditional Korean houses), and Hong Kong tenement buildings, these spaces are reinterpreted from a Western perspective, including a new form of "Chinoiserie," constructing a profound and multi-layered narrative journey. Minimalist architectural techniques and the use of mixed materials such as wood, screens, rattan, textiles, and refractive surfaces allow exhibits to blend into the environment rather than be displayed independently, thereby reducing waste during the exhibition and maximizing resource recycling afterward.
