The French Touch

Key pieces to add to your home for a hint of je ne sais quoi

by Patti Sunio

Maison et Objet caps off Digital Days with a fitting finale, paying homage to its roots. In the previous weeks, the event showcased a curation of fascinating design propositions demonstrated by makers from all parts of the globe, under the themes Unexpected Gift, Trendy Déco, Well at Work, Craft Métiers d'art, Outdoor Living, Sustainable, and Premium Design.

Now on its closing week, Digital Days celebrates the French art of living with So French. It’s the bold approach to radical design sensibilities, where traditional techniques are revisited with a twist, and designs are deliberate, chic and contemporary, ethical, and meaningful.
