The last time you heard from me about Maison&Objet, I was in the back of a cab on my way to the middle-of-nowhere outside Paris where the world famous design fair is held. I posted a quick selfie, thinking that this was only the first of many photos and videos I’d share in my Instagram stories throughout the rest of the day. I thought I was being quite the martyr in fact, braving the cold wind and slippery slushy streets just to vicariously take all of you to the fair. I never willingly leave home before 9am. And it’s not like I have any real reason to attend a trade fair. I was doing all this, for you.

But the first thing I saw when I walked in and had my ticket scanned was a sign saying that photography was forbidden. I was tempted to steal a few sneaky ones anyway…but then I noticed that individual exhibitors also often had signs prohibiting photography, so I decided not to risk it. The whole show was also insanely huge and overwhelming, so I decided it was perhaps a blessing to put the camera away and just try take in as much as I could with my eyes.

I decided to just take out a pen and paper and write down the names of brands that caught my eye.
Here are just a few of them for you.
I have NOT been able to stop thinking about this yellow saucepan.
