PEEK INTO THE FUTURE

PEEK INTO THE FUTURE
EBONY AND CO AMSTERDAM

Twice a year, Maison et Objet, held biannually at the Centre de Exposition in Villepinte, Paris, becomes a magnet to all professionals involved in the decorative Living Arts. For more than a decade now, tastemakers from all over the world and of all stripes flock to this directional event in January and in September - nearly 100.000 strong including some 3,500 stylists and journalists. January 2012 again proved an eye-opener with its extensive tableau of home trends, both present and future. They were displayed in 8 sprawling halls and expressed in both complete interior settings, as well as in specific product categories. The opportunity to peek into the future has made this show the must see for everyone. Yet again, in collaboration with DK Home, Ebony and Co stood tall and showcased it's newest and finest materials this January. Ebony and Co displayed its new Inlayed Panelling, with inlay beading ranging from “Stingray Skin” to pearlescent “Shell” and in such woods as the North American Walnut and Reclaimed Unmilled Barnwood. The effect was both dramatic and unusual. As well as the lure of the enticing samples library, the striking painted Barnwood wall-cladding made it's presence know to all who ventured on to the opulent stand. To celebrate another successful partnership with DK Home and to thank all of the affiliated designers, the mid-way point of the exhibition was earmarked with a Russian party to end all parties. With Russian cocktails flowing and only the very best caviar being served, the party danced the night away to funky eclectic beats. Ebony and Co would like to thank everyone involved in the year's first design show and we look forward to seeing you again in September.
