Parisian pavilion displays designs for life

Maison and Object showcases creative products in Beijing

A little bit of Parisian savoir faire has found its way to Beijing as the Maison and Object Design Pavilion recently opened at WF Central, a shopping center in the capital. The pavilion, which originates from Paris and showcases more than 30 brands - 12 of which are making their Chinese debut - will run for two months.

In addition, the pavilion will showcase the works of six designers who have been awarded the accolade "designer of the year" by M&O, including: Andre Fu from Hong Kong, the founder of AFSO; Euge ni Quitllet, a Catalonian designer whose works are characterized by flow design and digital precision; Oki Santo from Japan, who drew inspiration from Japanese minimalism; Philippe Nigro, a veteran French designer who has been working in the industry for more than 20 years; Ramy Fischler, a Belgian designer who is deeply influenced by film art and Tom Dixon, a self-taught British designer, who was awarded an OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire) by the Queen in recognition of his outstanding achievements in the design industry.
