Sur/Reality, in search of new creative horizons

Since 1994, trade fair Maison&Objet in Paris has brought together the international community of decoration, design and lifestyle. It has since become a tradition to present, together with the trend agencies Elisabeth Leriche and François Delclaux, the social trends in our society in style rooms or concept stores illustrated with the products of the exhibitors.

Trendz 2025: Inspiration and focus on sustainability

From January 12 to 14, trade fair Trendz took place in Gorinchem. This was also the kickoff of the inspiration and purchasing season for spring, the first trend fair of the year.

Optimism, experimentation, nature & nostalgia

Visitors to spring Trendz fair are welcomed by bright fresh colors, a positive aura that makes instant happy. Furthermore, there is room for a return to nature: reeds, pale ceramics, light fabrics, transparent glass bring tranquility. Materials are reused or are high quality like marble and terracotta. On the one hand you see forms from the antique world and on the other hand new technologies such as AI and 3D designs are gaining importance. These are customer-oriented and therefore also have a sustainable side.
