3 Mapping the projets offer What do these things have in common: a pool with an everchanging bottom created for a custom-designed home, a crystal-and-alabaster bar manufactured for Lalique, panoramic wallpaper tailor-made for a luxury hotel, facade covering for a media library in Tours, lighting at Monaco s Tour Odéon, and the stairs from Dior s Place Vendôme store? All these projects were the result of encounters made at MAISON&OBJET projets Because MAISON&OBJET projets brings together, under one roof, all the trades and resources needed to achieve luxury customisation of architectural undertakings of all kinds: residential, yachting, hotels and restaurants, and building projects for housing, commercial sites or public spaces. This broad-spectrum offer, featuring leading companies and specialist firms, is structured into several categories : Decorative materials, technical applications, paints, surface coatings: At MAISON&OBJET projets, architectural cladding and coatings are seen through an haute-couture lens in an offer that gives pride of place to prestigious or innovative materials, technical finesse and bespoke applications concrete (INNOVATION DURAFLEX) and composite coatings. When it comes to walls and facades, the exhibitors combine innovation (LC LUC DRUEZ), tradition (SIGEBENE) and aesthetics. The solutions presented include Plexiglas coverings from GENEVIS/GINVI5, already found in the Cartier and Hermès boutiques, or those from France s BACACIER. Others, like the luxurious natural fabrics from ANNE KYYRÖ QUINN6,7,8, can be found in prestigious private and corporate structures worldwide. The same goes for decorative walnut panels by FINIUM9, spotted on television broadcast sets at the Sochi Olympics, DACRYL acrylic creations, or the remarkably sturdy HI-MACS BY HAUSY S composite coatings that can be used on facades, walls, and floors.

4 Solutions and savoir-faire in custom designs and fittings for interiors and exteriors, kitchens, spas and wellbeing spaces: When it comes to prestigious projects, the devil is in the details and finishes are fundamental.
