Studio

Just back from Paris and the January jamboree that is Maison & Objet and Deco Off - never a dull moment as we try and get round as many halls as possible before heading into the centre of town. Deco Off is now in its fifth year and the showrooms on both sides of the Seine were buzzing, with many non-fabric companies also offering design professionals more opportunities to try and even buy. We'll be revealing our choice of the new fabric collections in The Schemer #23 on February 13 - sign up if you haven't already - www.theschemer.co.uk! Back at Maison et Objet there were plenty of interesting products, materials and ideas, with some new faces as well as familiar friends. We thought lighting was particularly strong and are putting together some of our favourite finds to post on Studio in the next few days. Let us know what were your favourite Paris discoveries - you can also find us on Twitter (). All change next week - new month, new show - Surface Design Show will be opening its doors in Islington - maybe see you there?
