This major international design fair is happening in Paris from the 23 – 27 January 2015. The event aims to bring together like-minded professions in art and design, ranging from textiles, accessories and fragrances to decor, design and furniture.
Maison & Objet has also announced nendo as the Paris Designer of the Year for 2015. Oki Sato, founder of nendo studied architecture at Waseda University in Tokyo. Today, the famed studio has offices in both Tokyo and Milan.
nendo’s winning concept is “chocolatexture”, a range focused on the shape and texture of the world’s favourite treat. Each individual 26 x 26 x 26mm cube incorporates different textures. The play on shapes alters the chocolate’s taste despite them all being made from the same formula and ingredients.
