Sensory Shift, the theme for the January 2027 edition |
||
|
Disconnecting from the overload to reconnect more fully. In a world saturated with stimuli, images and information, where everything is accelerating, a new aspiration is emerging: to slow down in order to feel more deeply. For its January 2027 edition, Maison&Objet Premier explores this shift with ‘Sensory Shift’, its new inspirational theme devised in collaboration with NellyRodi. After years of hyper-connectivity and overstimulation, the need is no longer to see or do more, but to rediscover a more sensory, more embodied and more mindful relationship with the world around us. Reconnecting with our sensations, with others, with gestures, with materials, with emotions and with the present moment: the sensory becomes a response to saturation. |
To explore the theme ‘Sensory Shift’, Paul Cocksedge – Designer of the Year 2027 and British ambassador for the Maison&Objet Premier edition – invites us to discover an art installation, a timeless piece entitled ‘Tension’, at the heart of the fair’s programme. A forward-looking laboratory, an exploration of new uses, a reflection on the imaginations of tomorrow.
“I conceived this project by starting with a simple question: where are we today, and what does that stir within us? In a world in flux, marked by uncertainty, technology and climate change, I wanted to give form to this invisible energy that flows through us. Water became the starting point: we come from it, we are made of it. In ‘Tension’, ice slowly sets the work in motion, inviting us to listen and contemplate its evolution.”
