This year, Maison&Objet (M&O), the world-leading trade show for lifestyle, decoration, and design professionals that originated in France, debuted the “Maison&Objet Design Factory” at DesignInspire 2024, marking M&O’s premier presence in Asia. The M&O Design Factory consisted of five meticulously curated themed zones on the latest design trends, exquisite craftsmanship, material sourcing, better living solutions, and innovative design pieces, offering trend-setting, engaging, and thriving discussions for trade.

Additionally, the Business of Design Week (BODW), Asia’s world-class design event honoured with the presence of renowned designers and brand owners to drive discourse on the value of design and innovation, together with the Business of IP Asia Forum and Entrepreneur Day, was held concurrently with DesignInspire 2024.

DesignInspire, the anchor design expo, definitely helped us source innovative and creative solutions for business upgrading, such as trend-setting spatial design services and designer furniture for gallery showcases.
