Philippine Design Creations in the Spotlight at Paris' Maison&Objet’s “BEST OF MOM” 2021
10 September 2021, Paris – Maison&Objet, one of the world’s biggest lifestyle trade events held in Paris, has now resumed following its pause in light of the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic.
For this year’s in-person event, a showcase of 26 “Best of MOM” design products – two of which are Philippine brands – are on exhibit at the heart of the event venue for the duration of the Maison&Objet trade show, which is being held from September 9 to 13, 2021. The Best of MOM list, which was carefully selected by prominent personalities in the global décor sector and by the MOM trend team, include Philippine creations namely the Fiori Lamp by Finali and the Cheque Bench by Zarate.
MOM, or the Maison&Objet and More, is the digital platform complement of the in-person event that is regularly held in Paris twice a year for almost three decades.

During their visit to the exhibition’s opening day yesterday, First Secretary Christina Rola McKernan of Philippine Embassy in Paris and Director and Commercial Counsellor Froilan Pamintuan of the Philippine Trade and Investment Center (PTIC Paris) were briefed by the MOM organizers that the selection of the Philippine design pieces were made by prominent names in the international design scene, particularly, French gallery owner and interior designer Jessica Barouch and the founders of Marcante-Testa Italian Design Studio.
As COVID-19 pandemic restrictions still limit the participation of international exhibitors in Maison&Objet, the Philippines continues to be very active in the MOM digital platform, which was, in fact, an innovation that the event organizers conceptualized well before the arrival of the pandemic.
